Kuten Geoffreyn suositussa historiassa kuvataan, Gorlois, Cornwallin herttua, laittoi vaimonsa Igrainen Tintagoliin sodan aikana (posuit eam in oppido Tintagol in littore maris: "hän laittoi hänet oppidum Tintagoliin meren rannalla"). Merlin naamioi Uther Pendragonin Gorloisiksi, jotta Uther voisi tulla Tintageliin ja "kyllästää" Igreenin teeskennellen olevansa Gorlois; Utherin ja Igrainen lapsi oli kuningas Arthur. Tästä motiivista tuli Arthurin vakio alkuperätarina myöhemmissä keskiaikaisissa kronikoissa ja ritarillisissa romansseissa. Jotkut Tristanin ja Iseultin legendan tapahtumat sijoittuvat myös Tintageliin.
