Question
In the Welsh tale Culhwch (“KIL-uck”) and Olwen, this figure wrestles a comb and a pair of scissors from the boar Twrch Trwyth (“twerk troyth”). A text that popularized myths of this figure recounts a war between his uncle Aurelius and the king Vortigern. This figure was conceived after his father snuck into Tintagel (“tin-tah-jull”) Castle to see the lady Igraine. An illegitimate son of this figure that survived the May Day Massacre was born by his half-sister Morgause. After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Camlann by Mordred and being taken to Avalon, a weapon owned by this figure was returned to the Lady of the Lake. For 10 points, name this mythical ruler of Camelot who wielded the sword Excalibur. ■END■
