Hmm...

A Brythonic King who, alongside his fellow kings, was known for opposing the Saxon encroachment and winning major battles.

He owned a magic sword which can only be wielded by the worthy and had a wife whose name began with the word "Gwen" who was implied to have been adulterous.

He also happened to be associated with a prophet named "Merlin" (albeit through the aforementioned wife).

Merlin probably had serious case of Deja Vu.

Imagine Merlin’s chaos but times two and the second one can see the future

Broke: an arthuriana adaptation that’s basically just a Gritty Retelling of Le Morte, takes place in vaguely medieval Western Europe, lots of racism and sexism to boot, makes King Arthur into a “brooding bad boy” type and makes Guinevere into nothing more than a cheater, etc

Woke: an arthuriana retelling that chronicles the adventures of Ganieda, Gowther, and Merlin, The Terrible Triplets, as they navigate the world of Sub Roman Britain,

Ganieda: we just need to be honest with each other, Merlin

Merlin: alright. Well, honestly? I think dirt would be nice to eat. I think it would just have a nice texture, and —

Ganieda: ...not that honest, Merlin.
