Igraine comes from the Welsh name Eigyr. She was the mother of Arthur and
the daughter of Amlawdd. She married Gorlois, by whom she had a number of
daughters. (This husband is sometimes called Hoel.) Uther Pendragon had
a relationship with her while he was under a spell which made him resemble
her husband. That night Igraine conceived Arthur.
Later, after the battle when Gorlois was dead, Uther married Igraine. She
never did see Arthur after he was first born, however, as he was given by
Merlin to Sir Ector to raise as his son.
There was another Igraine in the Vulgate Merlin who was the sister
of Arthur.
