* BigScrewedUpFamily: As of the end of series three, the Pendragons definitely qualify, what with Uther and Arthur's strained relationship and the fact that Morgana is not only [[spoiler: Uther's illegitimate daughter and Arthur's unacknowledged half-sister, but actively trying to kill them both]]. Both of Arthur’s [[EvilUncle uncles]] tried to avenge Ygraine's death: Tristan by coming back from the grave to kill Uther and [[spoiler: Agravaine by plotting with Morgana]].

* BlackVikings: Guinevere, her father, brother and Sir Pellinore are all black. However, they also have dragons and fey. It's also not so much of a stretch as people think, as there is evidence of some black people in medieval England. Of course, none were knights or queens that we know of. The Arthurian legend has a precedent for black knights though, such as Sir Morien.
