Arthur was unaware of Merlin's powers until the very last episode of season 5 ("The Diamond of the Day: Part 2). In one of Merlin and Arthur's best moments, both men share a beautiful but bittersweet conversation as Arthur's discovered everything Merlin had done and sacrificed for him.
In what episode does Arthur find out Merlin has magic?
The Diamond of the Day is the two-part finale consisting of the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of the fifth series of Merlin. They were first broadcast on the 22nd and 24th of December 2012. It marks the deaths of Mordred, Gwaine, Morgana, and Arthur, and the long-awaited magic reveal.
Arthur initially promises to lift Uther's ban on magic when he becomes king, but changes his mind when he thinks magic killed his father. Arthur is prophesied as "The Once and Future King", which means, even though he is killed in the final episode, Arthur Pendragon will rise again.
Why was the TV series Merlin canceled? They always planned it the way it was. It wasn't canceled it just ended. The writers always said they only ever planned for five seasons.
Some have speculated that they shared something more than friendship, and the producers confirmed this in the commentary of the last episode, "Diamond of the Day part two." Julian Murphy called it, "A love story between two men."
If Merlin assists him in winning Igraine, Uther will give the wizard their first born child. That child was Arthur. Arthur is said to have been born at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall and was taken by Merlin to be raised by Sir Ector.
In the Perceval en prose (also known as the Didot Perceval and also attributed to Robert), where Merlin is the initiator of the Grail Quest and cannot die until the end of days, he eventually retires after Arthur's downfall by turning himself into a bird and entering the mysterious esplumoir, never to be seen again.
Arthur, son of Igraine and Uther Pendragon, is thus Morgan's half-brother, and her full sisters include Mordred's mother, the Queen of Orkney. The young Morgan unhappily marries Urien, with whom she has a son, Yvain.
Mordred as a young boy keeps calling Merlin "Emrys", which is actually Merlin's name as a Celtic druid and sorcerer. In Welsh, Merlin's full real name is actually Myrddin Wynn Emrys. Myrddin is his first name, Wynn is his family name and Emrys is his druid name.
Merlin is in love with the Lady of the Lake despite his age, and every time she comes he promises to teach her magic in exchange for her love. Every time this happens, she binds him in the tree by using magical thread which the Norns had at one time taught her how to spin.
One of the sole reasons Morgana turned into a villain was because she was corrupted by Morgause. With Morgana in Morgause's company for a year, the witch successfully brainwashed her sister into believing Uther and Arthur were the real evil.
Supporting cast members include Adetomiwa Edun, Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper, and Rupert Young. It was announced on 26 November 2012 that Merlin would end with the fifth series. The two-part finale was broadcast on 22 and 24 December 2012.
Though he had expressed uncertainty about Camelot's persecution of magic in the past, after Uther was killed by a sabotaged healing spell, Arthur came to believe that magic was pure evil and chose to continue his father's policies (The Wicked Day).
In the commotion, Arthur had dropped Excalibur and its scabbard. Seeing Mordred, he picked up a spear, and charged at him. Mordred charged back with his sword. The sword came forward and cleaved Arthur's skull just as he drove his spear through his son's hateful heart.
What happened to Guinevere after King Arthur died?
While Guinevere was locked in the Tower of London, King Arthur fought Mordred to regain his throne. Both King Arthur and Mordred died in their battle with each other. After King Arthur died, Guinevere joined a nunnery and stayed there until her death. She was buried next to King Arthur.
Originally Answered: Is merlin having a sixth season? Unfortunately, no. The series was meant to end after 5 seasons. With Arthur dead, there isn't really much of a story to tell, if any.
Guinevere is childless in most stories. The few exceptions of that include Arthur's son named Loholt or Ilinot in Perlesvaus and Parzival (first mentioned in Erec and Enide).
Morgana is born in Camelot to Uther Pendragon and Lady Vivienne. Growing up in the household of Gorlois, Morgana and Gorlois are led to believe that they are father and daughter.
In almost all versions, Mordred is the son of Arthur. Mordred is Arthur's only child, but he has half-siblings through his mother. Notably, Sir Gawain and Sir Gareth are Mordred's half-brothers.
Escanor had never felt as though he belonged anywhere until he joined the Sins, and he gladly sacrifices his life for his treasured companions. A happy ending in its own way, Escanor professes his love for Merlin, knowing it is not reciprocated yet hoping that someone worthy of her love may find her someday.
As his body smolders signaling the end of his life, Merlin disregards his warning to step back, to give him one final kiss to make up for never reciprocating his love, accepting the burns on her face as a symbol of "the one man who ever loved me", before Escanor vaporizes into ashes with tears in his eyes as he happily ...
While there were plenty of running gags on Merlin, one of the best was how oblivious Arthur was to Merlin's magic. Considering that he spent the most time with the eponymous sorcerer, it was quite hilarious that he didn't seem to realize that Merlin was one of the most powerful beings in the world.
