There's a lot of paralells between their stories and I think it would really work. Here's my theory based on what I've read in this source: http://scholarworks.gsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&context=rs_theses

1. She was taught magic by the sorcerer Merlin (Rumple). "Eventually, Queen Igraine, long a widow, came to visit with Arthur and brought with her Morgan. “While they were staying in the city, Morgan and Merlin became friends; she was endowed with great learning, and she grew so close to him and came around him so much that she found out who he was. He taught her many wonders in astrology and necromancy, and she kept them all in her mind,”15 for Merlin taught her things she did not learn from her schooling."

2. She knew how to spin gold thread "in a bedroom under the great hall where she spun golden thread, for she wished to make a headpiece for her sister, wife of King Lot."

3. She was well spoken and lady-like like Cora was "And she had yet another quality that must not be skipped over, for she had a sweet, soft way of talking, and she was well spoken."

4. She fell in love with "Can't remember his name" and was betrayed by Ada. "Guiomar immediately became enraptured with Morgan and she with him. However, because he was Guinevere’s relation, they decided to keep their love a secret. The queen learned of the affair, however, and separated the lovers"

5. Because of this she asked Rumple to teach her more magic so she could get revenge on Ada,       AKA Guinevere. "Distraught and full of hatred for Guinevere, Morgan left the court to find Merlin for she believed she could find no help in her plight from any other man.

6. She fell in love with Rumple and seems to have given up on revenge for a time. "She found Merlin and the two had an affair."

7. She grows hungry for power and makes Rumple teach her everything he knows about magic. "Longing to be even more powerful, she convinced the wizard to teach her all the spells and bewitchments that she knew later on, and she stayed with him for a long time.”

8.  She is King Arthur's half sister. This would be would be King, Snow's father.

9. She fell in love with his knight, Lancelot, who was already secretly in love with Ada (Guinevere).

10. She became jealous, and saw this as the perfect opportunity to get revenge on Ada (Guinevere).

11. Ultimately it did not work, so....

12. She resorted to poisoning Ada.

That's my theory. There's probably a lot of holes, with both the show and the King Arthur mythology, but I still think it would be an interesting twist. Please tell me what you think.
