 The SF Site Featured Review: I Am Mordred: A Tale from Camelot
Springer apparently "recognized in Mordred an undeserving scapegoat, a pawn of history whose own story had yet to be fully explored." Mordred is here the product of an incestuous union between Arthur and Arthur's sister Morgause -- a half-sister unknown to Arthur.

Again, though, this is not the Mordred of legend, whose sole reason for being was to destroy Arthur and bring down his kingdom.
