Igraine
In Arthurian legend, Igraine /ɪˈɡreɪnˌ iːˈɡreɪn/ is the mother of King Arthur. She is also known in Latin as Igerna, in Welsh as Eigyr, in French as Igerne, in Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur as Ygrayne— often modernized as Igraine—and in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival as Arnive. She becomes the wife of Uther Pendragon, but her first husband was Gorlois; her daughters by Gorlois are Elaine, Morgause and Morgan le Fay.
Welsh tradition
In Pre-Galfridian (pre-Geoffrey of Monmouth) Welsh tradition, Eigyr is one of several children of Amlawdd Wledig (Prince Amlawdd). Her siblings include Gwyar, the mother of Gwalchmai (Gawain), who is mentioned in Culhwch and Olwen. The same source mentions Gormant son of Rica, half-brother to Arthur on his father's side, his father the chief elder of Cornwall.
Geoffrey of Monmouth
In Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, Igerna enters the story as the wife of Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. King Uther Pendragon falls in love with her and attempts to force his attentions on her at his court. She informs her husband who departs with her to Cornwall without asking leave. This sudden departure gives Uther Pendragon an excuse to make war on Gorlois. Gorlois conducts the war from the castle of Dimilioc but places his wife in safety in the castle of Tintagel.

Unenlightened
by: AcronIt's me, something that doesn't exist anymore
Just the shadow of what I was - a human being
I remember the life I lived, now so far away
Memories are preserving my human part
I want a crystal heart
To not feel this cries
The beast is a part of me, I need it
That's why I'll always have to fight it
Inviting power and desire
It wants to take away the light of my soul
It's me, forced to eat those I once belonged to
At every drop I fall down, more and more
A long night that will never end
