[QUOTE="Master01, post: 944286, member: 245"] You're right. Even here in Italy she is known as "Fata Morgana" and lives today in a hidden underwater castle between the Etna and the Stretto di Messina, Sicily. You got it! From Dark Ladies: "Morgan le Fey is the daughter of Arthur's mother Igrene and her first husband Garlois, the Duke of Cornwall, and thus Arthur's elder half-sister. Rumor claims that Morgan was sent off to a nunnery to learn black magic. This is just the first in a series of half-truths that have helped alienate Morgan from the heart of the kingdom, and encouraged her to take up the mantle of "Evil Enchantress." In fact, Morgan manifested the Sight very early on. Her mother, a good pagan, sent Morgan to live with a sisterhood of priestesses who inhabited a secluded and enchanted isle. There she learned the ways of divine magic and what lore of the druids still remained. Over the years, Morgan rose to become the leader of this sisterhood. As such, she is the earthly manifestation of the Morrigan, a goddess of birth and death, and the strife that fills that time between. Morgan has since married King Uriens of Gorre and bore him a legitimate heir, Owain. She continues to takes lovers, as is the pagan custom." Yup, she is actually (her true name this time :cool: ) Caterina dei Medici from Florence, Italy. [/QUOTE]
