Merlin and the Arthurian Legend

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Here i go again, trying to solve a million dollar legend, trying all my best surfing the internet to find an answer because well, lets face it, i cant travel to Camelot all by my feet so internet is the best thing that can help and believe me its a short cut through Camelot.

We knew that Merlin is one of the most fascinating figures in the Welsh literature and the Arthurian legend. Merlin is a man of mystery and magic; contradiction and controversy surrounded his life. But the question is was Arthurian Legend Fact or Fiction?

So here, I will share to you one of the best answer I found in the internet and hope this will help you better understand. But still you can watch Merlin online if you want more.

Did the legendary stories and people of Arthurian Legend actually exist or were the stories surrounding Arthurian Legend a figment of a writer's imagination? Arthurian Legend is not based on real historical evidence . The Arthurian legends were based on the books written by the clerics of the Medieval era or the Middles Ages. The stories of many Welsh Celtic legends and Myths surrounding the Arthurian Legend provide the Welsh with a claim to the sovereignty of the whole kingdom of Britain. These Arthurian legends and myths about "the one, true King of the Britons" were used by Kings of England to authenticate their claims to the both the Welsh and English thrones! King Edward I used these Arthurian legends and myths when he conquered Wales. Connections between Caernarvon, Arthurian Legend, Merlin, Prophecies and even Stonehenge were made. The Tudors used the same ploy! These Kings of England used the stories from Arthurian Legend to give them credibility. It was convenient for them to turn the stories and myths about Arthurian Legend into hard facts!

I Love To Watch The Adventures of Merlin

Wednesday, November 3, 2010


I’ve been watching about the adventures of Merlin Online for the reason I love stories which relates to Arthur legends. I keep on reading books and watching online films but finding more answer to the question” is it true? Makes me think of another question, if you ask the same as I do, well, I’m telling you the adventures of Merlin are one of the best TV series I patiently waited to watch every episode of it.

The stories, legends and myths about Merlin the Wizard, Merlin the Sorcerer, Merlin the Magician and Merlin the Prophet play an important role in the History of the Britons. The character of Merlin the Wizard was invented by Geoffrey of Monmouth. Other Medieval writers, poets and Chroniclers used the character of Merlin the Wizard in their works and the stories of the Knights of the Round Table appeared.

The Kings of England encouraged the belief in King Arthur and Merlin to meet their own ends. The legends and myths about Merlin continued to grow. Of course the stories were true - the King said so! The King has fulfilled the ancient prophecies of Merlin! Even up to the present day people are confused as to whether Merlin the Wizard was an actual person - which might be the reason you are reading this text! The legend of Merlin is a perfect example of Fiction being turned into Fact!
