* CurbStompBattle: Morgana utterly wipes the floor with the guards of Camelot who tries to challenge her with a sword. Even after she gets injured, she is still able to easily overpower Gwen in a sword fight, utterly unimpressed by her skills. It's only due to Morgana showing some hesitation that Merlin arrives in time to magically intervene to finally defeat her.

** And the night afterward, when Merlin finally tells Arthur about his destiny to rule Albion, his response is "You're making this up.". Yes, like he made up you ''pulling a freaking sword from a stone''. Even when Merlin points out he has no reason to boost Arthur's ego, he just walks off without any further commitment. At least he's realized he can't argue with Merlin any more.

** Alternatively, there may have simply been infighting among the descendants of Bruta (the aforesaid ancient king), and Uther won the throne from a relative. After all, this certainly happens often enough in real life -- all English monarchs after William I were his descendants, but Henry IV, Edward IV, Henry VII and William III all took the throne by force. It would certainly explain why, back in "[[Recap/MerlinS03E12TheComingOfArthurPartI The Coming Of Arthur Part I]]", Uther -- wrongly believing that Morgause was intent on crowning herself queen -- insisted that it was unlawful for her to do so, despite her forces having conquered the city.
