Although Nimueh knew that by using magic to create a life, another life had to be taken in exchange, she claimed that she had not foreseen that it would be Ygraine's life.

De achternaam Pendragon wordt verklaard door een komeet in de vorm van een draak die Uther gezien zou hebben en welke hem inspireert tot het maken van twee drakenvaandels.
