Ygraine was not originally Uther's wife as he had a bit of hanky panky with her in the guise of her real husband thanks to Merlin (so why is Merlin, and also Nimwe, younger than Arthur in the tv series), and thus Arthur was produced. Morgana, Arthur's half-sister was already about 10 when this happened. She turns into a nasty bit of work and gets knocked up by Arthur to produce his son Mordred who kills Arthur at the battle of Camlann, he in turn kills Mordred.

I wasn't getting quite so deep as that but perhaps this would be a good subject for a Trishia or Jeremy Kyle to sort out, perhaps an ancient version of the paternity test could be revealed not so much DNA as a good oldie dual
