Mordred or Modred (/ˈmoʊdrɛd/; Welsh: Medraut or Medrawt) is a character who is variously portrayed in the Arthurian legend. The earliest known mention of a possibly historical Medraut is in the Welsh chronicle Annales Cambriae, wherein he and Arthur are ambiguously associated with the Battle of Camlann in a brief entry for the year 537. His figure seemed to have been regarded positively in the early Welsh tradition and may have been related to that of Arthur's son.

莫德雷德（英語：Mordred或Modred，又譯為莫俊德、莫卓），是亞瑟王傳說中一位重要的人物，也是其中最知名的叛徒。歷史上的莫德雷德最早可能在《威爾斯年代記（英語：Annales Cambriae）》中出現，這份文獻以一篇簡短的記事模糊不清地提及了公元537年的劍欄之戰中的他與亞瑟王。在早期威爾斯傳統中，莫德雷德似乎有著積極正面的形象，也許還曾和亞瑟之子（英語：King Arthur's family）有某種關係。

As Modredus, Mordred was depicted as Arthur's traitorous nephew and a legitimate son of King Lot in Geoffrey of Monmouth's pseudo-historical work Historia Regum Britanniae which then served as the basis for the following evolution of the legend since the 12th century. Later variants most often characterised him as Arthur's villainous bastard son, born of an incestuous relationship with his half-sister, the Queen of Orkney named either Anna, Orcades or Morgause. The accounts presented in the Historia and most other versions include Mordred's death at Camlann, typically in a final duel during which he manages to mortally wound his slayer Arthur.

在蒙茅斯的傑弗里所著的偽歷史書《不列顛諸王史》中，莫德雷德被描寫成亞瑟叛逆的侄子，以及洛特王（英語：King Lot）的合法子嗣。這本書在12世紀成為了亞瑟王傳說後續發展的基礎。後來的諸多文藝作品多把他描繪為亞瑟與姐姐摩高斯亂倫所生的孽子。史書與許多版本的故事體現了他的此番形象，包括令他殞命的劍欄之戰——大多數故事都描寫他死於與亞瑟王的決鬥，亞瑟王亦身負瀕死重傷。

Mordred is usually a brother or half-brother to Gawain; however, his other family relations as well as his relationships with Arthur's wife Guinevere vary greatly. In a popular telling originating from the French chivalric romances of the 13th century, and made prominent today through its inclusion in Le Morte d'Arthur, Mordred is knighted by Arthur and joins the fellowship of the Round Table. In this narrative, he eventually becomes the main actor in Arthur's downfall as he helps his half-brother Agravain to expose Guinevere's and Lancelot's affair and then takes advantage of the resulting war to make himself the high king of Britain.

莫德雷德在許多故事中與高文關係相對固定，他們通常是兄弟或異母兄弟；然而，他的其他家庭關係，以及他與亞瑟之妻桂妮薇兒的關係在不同作者筆下大相逕庭。根據起源於13世紀的法國騎士文學，莫德雷德作為騎士受封於亞瑟並加入了圓桌騎士，這段情節現如今也聞名於《亞瑟之死》。在這段故事中，莫德雷德成為導致亞瑟王隕落中心人物，他協助異父兄弟阿格規文（英語：Agravain）曝光了桂妮薇兒與蘭斯洛特的姦情，並利用隨後的圓桌騎士內戰登上了不列顛的王座。

名字的由來

編輯

The name Mordred, found as the Latinised Modredus in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, comes from Old Welsh Medraut (comparable to Old Cornish Modred and Old Breton Modrot).[1] It is ultimately derived from Latin Moderātus, meaning "within bounds, observing moderation, moderate".[2][3]

Mordred其名，最早出現在不列顛諸王史中，是Modredus拉丁化轉寫，來自古威爾斯語Medraut，類似的還有古康瓦爾語的Modred與古布列塔尼語的Modrot。[1]該詞最早源自拉丁語的Moderātus，意為「有度的、適中的」。[4][5]

早期威爾斯文獻

編輯

The earliest surviving mention of Mordred (referred to as Medraut) is found in an entry for the year 537 in the chronicle Annales Cambriae (The Annals of Wales), which references his name in an association with the Battle of Camlann.[6]

Gueith Camlann in qua Arthur et Medraut corruerunt.
"The strife of Camlann, in which Arthur and Medraut fell."

最早提及莫德雷德的文獻為《威爾斯年代記（英語：Annales Cambriae）》，在記錄公元537年的劍欄之戰時提及了他的名字。[7]

Gueith Camlann in qua Arthur et Medraut corruerunt.
「劍欄之戰，亞瑟與莫德雷德隕落。」

This brief entry gives no information as to whether Mordred killed or was killed by Arthur, or even if he was fighting against him. As noted by Leslie Alcock, the reader assumes this in the light of later tradition.[8] The Annales themselves were completed between 960 and 970, meaning that (although their authors likely drew from older material[9]) they cannot be considered as a contemporary source having been compiled 400 years after the events they describe.[10]

除此之外，這篇記錄並沒有告訴我們，到底是莫德雷德死於亞瑟之手還是成功弒殺亞瑟，甚至連他們兩個有沒有相互廝殺都不明不白。他們的故事是在之後的西歐傳統中愈發清晰起來的。[11]《威爾斯編年史》本身是在公元960年到970年間完成的，這意味著這部文獻是在它所描述的事件發生400年後寫下的，不能被視作亞瑟王時代的史書，儘管作者在編撰它的時候確實參考了許多舊文獻。[12][13]

Meilyr Brydydd, writing at the same time as Geoffrey of Monmouth, mentions Mordred in his lament for the death of Gruffudd ap Cynan (d. 1137). He describes Gruffudd as having eissor Medrawd ("the nature of Medrawd") as to have valour in battle. Similarly, Gwalchmai ap Meilyr praised Madog ap Maredudd, king of Powys (d. 1160) as having Arthur gerdernyd, menwyd Medrawd ("Arthur's strength, the good nature of Medrawd").[14] This would support the idea that early perceptions of Mordred were largely positive.

梅勒·布萊迪（英語：梅勒·布莱迪）在寫給格溫內斯王格魯夫（英語：Gruffudd ap Cynan）的輓歌中提及了莫德雷德。他描述格魯夫道，他擁有eissor Medrawd——意為和莫德雷德相同的天性——這使得他在戰鬥中十分英勇。與之相似地，戈士麥（英語：Gwalchmai ap Meilyr）曾稱讚波伊斯之王瑪多戈（英語：Madog ap Maredudd），稱他擁有Arthur gerdernyd, menwyd Medrawd——意為亞瑟的力量與莫德雷德的優良品性。[15]可見，莫德雷德在早期傳統與文獻中或許真的有一個正面的形象。

However, Mordred's later characterisation as the king's villainous son has a precedent in the figure of Amr or Amhar, a son of Arthur's known from only two references. The more important of these, found in an appendix to the 9th-century chronicle Historia Brittonum (The History of the Britons), describes his marvelous grave beside the Herefordshire spring where he had been slain by his own father in some unchronicled tragedy.[16][17] What connection exists between the stories of Amr and Mordred, if there is one, has never been satisfactorily explained.

在莫德雷德之前，亞瑟王孽子的形象就有過一個先例：阿默（英語：Amhar）——只有兩處文獻提及的亞瑟之子。
