Meaning & History
From Welsh Medraut, meaning uncertain. In Arthurian legend Mordred was the illegitimate son (in some versions nephew) of King Arthur. While Arthur was away he seduced his wife Guinevere and declared himself king. This prompted the battle of Camlann, which led to the deaths of both Mordred and Arthur.
