Editing Igraine (section)

==Modern fiction==
*[[Jack Whyte]]'s ''[[A Dream of Eagles]]'' portrays Igraine as the daughter of Athol, a ruler from Ireland. She is married off to Lot, the Duke of Cornwall and flees the cruel Lot for his arch enemy, Uther Pendragon. 
*In the [[BBC]] series ''[[Merlin (2008 TV series)|Merlin]]'' (S02 E08: "''The Sins of the Father''"), Ygraine is the wife of Uther, but dead for many years by the time the events of the series begins. She could not conceive, and so Uther asked for the help of the sorceress [[List of Merlin characters#Nimueh|Nimueh]] so that they could have a child. Igraine gives birth to Arthur, but because magic was invoked in his conception, Uther had to pay the price of asking for a life from magic—that of losing the life of someone he treasured equally, his wife. It is Igraine's death that sparks Uther's hatred and persecution of all magic users within his kingdom.
*In [[Guy Ritchie]]'s 2017 film ''[[King Arthur: Legend of the Sword]]'', [[Poppy Delevingne]] plays Igraine, Uther's wife.
