What are the striking characteristics of sir mordred?
Mordred is a fictional character and his striking characteristics vary according to the account you read. His name, in Welsh is Medraut, which is actually a Cornish form. It may derive from the popular Latin name Moderatatus, which means “moderate”. Some characteristics are mention in the third series of Welsh triads in triad 118: “The three kingly knights of Arthur’s court: Morgan the Greatly Courteous son of Adras; Medrawd son of Llew son of Cynvarch; and Howel son of Emyr of Amorica. It was their disposition to be so placid and mild, and pure in their discourse, that it was difficult for any person to refuse what they wanted.” See http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Triads_of_… The name “Llew” appears elsewhere as the Welsh translation for the French “roi Lot”, he being the father of Gawain and often also the father of Mordret in French tradition. Cynvarch is the father of King Urien of Reged in Welsh tradition,
