I knew some versions did that, but I'd forgotten Sword In The Stone was one of them (must reread).
I'm not sure I ever had a clear idea of how long Uther had been dead in the baseline arc of KAITOS. In the contemporary arc, I assumed he'd died shortly after Arthur was born and that's why Arthur was fostered. And in the space arc, of course, he died shortly after Arthur's birth, but Arthur was 15 thanks to time travel.
In Merlin though, there's no fostering. Arthur is the king's son and everybody knows it. Especially Arthur.
