"It's all right," he says, and adds "it's only helpful in making certain I don't attempt to pretend I don't know stories of a man who thought a round table would be enough to assure equality."
It might be argued, perhaps, that Mordred was a traitor, killing his fatheruncle and causing general mayhem, etc.
It might also be noted that one of Edmund's best friends helped cause a massive attempted coup and was killed during the fighting. Or perhaps it would be useful to note that Edmund carries the stigma of traitor himself, for all that by most arguments he did little enough, compared to some.
Also, while we're busy noting things in narrative, we may as well note that apparently Edmund, who helped rule a land for fifteen years and lost it simply because it was time to return to England, who returned centuries later to find that his kingdom had held itself together... well, perhaps he spent enough time researching King Arthur's legends to feel that England's Golden Age was rather limited, compared to Narnia's.
