She was strong willed and took on responsibility in her husband's absences. Later, after Uther was fatally injured defending Arthur from an assassin, Gwen helped to care for him while Arthur kept vigil at his bedside. The two remained very close friends and were like brother and sister, helping and rescuing each other on many occasions. When Arthur refused, they got into a violent argument that ended with Arthur proclaiming his love for her. Uther †Morgana †Morgause †Agravaine †Lancelot (Shade) † Gwen liked Merlin's mother, and she and Morgana decided to go with them to Ealdor and help her against Kanen, Hunith was very grateful with them and showed concern for Gwen and Morgana because of the dangerous trip. Arthur later tells her that it is not possible for them to be together as Uther would never understand, and Gwen is accepting of this. But if I do it. Gwen later escaped from him after she discovered that he was in league with Morgana, but unfortunately the witch had discovered her presence there and pursued her. Gwaine on patrol spots the pair and pursues them however is knocked out by Morgana. Guinevere is a feminine name of French or Welsh origin. He told her that he appreciated her kindness and everything that she did for his father, to which Gwen replied that she did it for him. Arthur, however, was not offended by her rebuke, and in fact thanked her for it. She pointed out that he'd nearly been killed when he'd led the search for Mithian's father, and there were many fine men in Camelot who could avenge Ranulf's death. After Camelot and the neighboring kingdom of Nemeth reached an agreement over a dispute of land, Arthur revealed to the court that he was to marry Princess Mithian as part of the deal. Later, Merlin went to Gwen and Arthur and told them that Tyr hadn't sabotaged Arthur's saddle, but had seen the person who had. He later explained the situation to Gwen, who was concerned that he seemed unhappy, and assured her that he had no intention of going through with the marriage. They then continued with their tasks for the day, each breathing a sight of relief (Goblin's Gold). Mandrake roots are known for making people hallucinates. Arthur stated that Guinevere always surprised him and said that although he thought he knew everything about her she kept finding new ways to amaze him. He told Elena that she was a wonderful woman and a beautiful bride, but he could no longer deny his feelings. He then told her that he would die for her a hundred times over, and Gwen kissed him before running away. For example, when Merlin used his magic to embarrass Arthur by making him spill soup on his chainmail, Mithian immediately tried to put him at ease about it and politely wiped up the soup with her napkin. She tried to make Sefa feel comfortable in her presence, telling her that just because she was queen it didn't mean that Sefa had to hide things from her. Arthur made his public return to Camelot shortly after the tournament's end. Gwen helps Lancelot with his armour first when he is trying to become a knight and later when he goes to Arthur defeat a Griffin. When Tristan scoffed that he hadn't seen many kingly qualities in Arthur thus far, Gwen loyally defended the king by replying, "Well, maybe you just don't know him.". Once she is in the water, Merlin is able to cast the spell needed to call the White Goddess, and Gwen is restored. Gwen also developed an unrequited crush on Merlin, attracted to the fact he was more or less the opposite of Arthur. Confused, Gwen asked why Merlin would want to kill Arthur, and Gaius noted that he had been acting very strangely since he returned and speculated that something might be wrong with him. When Gwen was captured by Hengist’s men, Arthur goes to rescue her, against Uther’s will. Gwen also displayed some profiency at wielding a sword, enough to defeat many knights during the battle of Camelot. Arthur and Guinevere, on their way to the treaty signing. Gwen shyly asked if Arthur would have really given up the throne for her, and was astonished when he replied that he still would. Uther sentences her to death, much to Arthur’s fury and Morgana’s amusement. Furious that he'd lied to her and upset because she thought he'd finally learnt some humility, Gwen told the prince that a good king should respect his people, no matter who they were. (The Kindness of Strangers). Arthur, on the other hand, had no discernible opinion on Gwen at all and treated her no differently than he would any other average citizen. The siblings were soon freed from their cell by Merlin and Arthur, and after retrieving Morgana the group escaped from the castle unharmed. Uther, however, only saw this as further proof that Arthur was enchanted. Gwen tends to him, and they reunite when he regains consciousness. He banished her from Camelot, ordering her to leave at first light. That everyone else (including Arthur) hated and tormented her. As she is dragged away to the dungeons, Arthur kisses her again, and she catches sight of Morgana smirking at her. At one point he asked if she knew where his comb was, and she responded by walking over to the nightstand and picking it up. "No. She thanked him for helping her rescue Elyan, telling him that it meant more to her than he would ever know, and Arthur tenderly replied with her earlier comment that that was what you did when you loved someone (The Castle of Fyrien). Arthur asks his father to organize a search party for Gwen. Though their journey was complicated by a fall from a cliff, an unexpected rescue by Mordred (who had followed them), and an attack by Morgana and Aithusa, they ultimately managed to reach the Cauldron before Gwen woke up. Cenred had also located and kidnapped her brother Elyan, and said that he would kill him if she didn't bring Arthur to him within the week. They discovered that Gwen was a victim of the Teine Diaga, an ancient ritual wherein a High Priestess used the Mandrake root to bring unimaginable terror to a victim and bind their will to her own. Accepting that he wouldn't be deterred (and worried about Merlin herself), Gwen asked Arthur to promise her that he wouldn't go alone, and was relieved when Gwaine volunteered to accompany him. When Arthur was injured fighting the sorcerer's animated gargoyles, Gwen risked her life to go looking for him and saved his life twice before escorting him inside to tend to his wounds. Initially Gwen was unfaithful with Lancelot because of guilt that he sacrificed himself for her in episode 4.02. That night, Gwen secretly visited Tyr in the dungeons and confronted him. Gwen and Lancelot are held prisoner by evil outlaw Hengist. He told her that he didn't care about her betrayal anymore, and all he knew was that he didn't want to lose her. She would rather stay there and die. Well, that's what's happened to me today.". When she asked him what was wrong, he sadly lamented that he'd made a fool of himself by making a gesture that wasn't well received. Later, after being declared the winner of the tournament, Arthur chose to send the farmer he'd hired to pose as Sir William to collect the trophy in his place, thus maintaining their deception. She told him that if anything happened to him she would never forgive herself. In series two their relationship became closer, and Gwen was able to provide Arthur with council and comfort. Agreeing that they were both there out of duty and nothing more, they then mutually decided to call off the wedding (much to the delight of Gwen). You're strange. Gwen then goes to Lancelot, telling him to keep Arthur safe and he promises that he will protect Arthur with his life. Later, Gwen went to speak with Arthur about his marriage to Elena. Gwen was also known for her dressmaking abilities as she was noted as the best Seamstress in Camelot by Merlin. She tried to subtly manipulate them into spending more time together, telling them each how sad it was that they had to hide their feelings and couldn't be more open. Gwen insists he can and that one day he will prove his father wrong. Relieved that she was all right, Merlin told her that they'd searched the whole town and that Arthur was worried sick, but Gwen barely seemed to hear him. When her father mysteriously recovered from a plague that nobody else had survived, Arthur thought nothing of searching her house and, after discovering a magic poultice beneath her father's pillow, did not hesitate to arrest her. He later accompanied Merlin and Morgana to the underground reservoir and killed the Afanc that was contaminating the water supply, thus proving that Gwen was not responsible for the plague (The Mark of Nimueh). At one point she asked her maidservant, Sefa, to sit with her and keep her company. He told her that he couldn't watch his father die, that there was still so much he wanted to say to him, and finally decided that he wouldn't die. However, by the next morning another Fomorroh had grown in its place, and Merlin made another attempt on Arthur's life. The creature had likely escaped from a group of slavers that the search party had found massacred along the trail, one of which had survived and eventually recovered enough to confirm Gaius's suspicions. However, unknown to her at the time she was actually his daughter and half-sister of Arthur. After a moment's hesitation, Arthur agreed. He pointed out that being guilty of one crime did not make her guilty of both and said that he didn't believe there to be evil in her heart. It's the way she looks at you as if you were the enemy. When Gwen was held hostage by the bandit Hengist (who believed her to be the Lady Morgana), Arthur disobeyed his father's orders and snuck out of the city with Merlin to rescue her. After a moment, Arthur admitted that he had no wish to see her dead, but he also didn't want to see her at all. It is hinted when Gwen was brainwashed into allying with Morgana that she is barren, as she says to Leon "Arthur has no other family to succeed him." Meanwhile, Arthur and the Knights had arrived at the Tower. Moreover she scolds Arthur for his lack of gratitude for the food the people give him. The king had been devastated by Morgana's betrayal and failed to recover from his mental anguish in the year that followed. She also told him that there was always hope, which cheered Arthur up considerably. However, when Arthur professes that he never loved anyone other than her, she sadly tells him she can't be his queen, at least until things can change. Desperate to salvage their relationship, Gwen tried to assure Arthur that she loved him, that he meant everything to her and that she still wanted to be his Queen, but the king was unmoved.
