After the 'enemy' has been repulsed Arthur and his party return to Camelot but Morgan has used magic to turn herself into Ygrain,keeping the genuine queen a prisoner in her castle.

Morgan enters Camelot with her prisoners,claiming that they are traitors and that only she can save the realm from the marauding bands. Confronting Ygrain in private she kills her.

The knights return to Camelot where Sybil takes the blame for the conspiracy and is executed by an unconvinced Gawain. After Ygrain and Leontes have been laid to rest Arthur is free to rule with Guinevere, though Morgan,having sought advice at Sybil's grave,may not be willing to give in. Written by don @ minifie-1
