Mordred's (who is Welsh) relationship to Arthur varies with each tradition many including Welsh but he is best known as Arthur's illegitimate son by his half-sister Morgause.



I believe the reason that Mordred hates Arthur is because he is jealous and doesn't believe that Arthur deserves all that he has including Queen Guinevere.



Mordred is killed in a battle with Arthur - they kill each other is my understanding of the story.

For Mordred, see http://kingarthur.wikia.com/wiki/Mordred .



Note that there are different versions of the story of Mordred in different texts.None of them indicates exactly why Mordred hates Arthur.



In most tales, Mordred is killed by King Arthur’s forces, sometimes by King Arthur himself, but King Arthur is mortally wounded in the same battle, sometimes by Mordred himself.



Mordred is never presented as English, that is, as Anglo-Saxon. Nor is he presented as Welsh. Mordred’s father in earlier accounts is King Loth of Lothian, who is supposedly of Norwegian origin, being the nephew of King Sichelm of Norway. His mother was King Arthur’s sister in some accounts, or King Arthur’s half-sister in others. In later accounts Mordred is an illegitimate son of Arthur, sired on his sister.



No sources particularly indicates that her ancestry was Welsh. As far as it goes, it probably can be considered to be British. She was the daughter of Ygerne/Eigyr, who in Welsh sources is the daughter of one Anblaut Guletic (Amlawdd Wledig or Anlawdd Wledig), of whom we know nothing except that in tales he is given many daughters, apparently as a convenient way to genealogically link other figures who supposedly lived at the time to Arthur.



The answerer who claims Mordred is Welsh is just making it up.

Mordred in some or most accounts is actually Arthur's son. Arthur and Mordred kill each other.

One version has it that he was Arthur’s son. Supposedly he tried to kill Mordred when he was a baby to avoid the prophecy, which might account for a bit of chagrin on Mordred’s part. Supposedly they kill each other. Wikipedia has quite a good entry on this.

nicely, he could have been a Briton,whether he grow to be born in what we now understand as England, or in Wales. I even have examine the Scottish claims,too, yet i haven't extremely seen what i might call solid data. while human beings say 'Roman', they might desire to undergo in techniques that the romans got here to Britain to triumph over for the Empire, to no longer colonise with immigrants from their very own united states--ie the Romans have been fairly few in selection and left insignificant outcomes on the dna genepool of the rustic. Arthur might have lots extra possibly been what we spoke of as 'Romano-british'--meaning a actual community British man or woman who had grow to be Romanised in gown,style of residing and so on. the project is obviously that lots delusion & legend has grow to be a piece of the legend too,blurring the photograph.
