Admittedly,  most of the 3x02 flashback was filler, but there are a few details that may turn out to be (planned or otherwise) forshadowing of events to come. Excalibur for one.

As for 3x06, maybe it was filler, but not all filler is bad. It was still an entertaining story. And it did set up a few interesting details that came into play in the present day, such as the interaction between Ariel and Regina, and how Regina ended up taking Ariel's voice. Also, the bracelet that allows Ariel to walk at anytime was introduced in the flashback.

But I digress. What does any of this have to do with Queen Elinor and King Fergus?
