Merlin

Merlin is one of the most legendary and iconic figures in medieval literature and Welsh folklore. Mention King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and the image of Merlin the wizard is soon to follow. Merlin was Arthur's close adviser and mentor, guiding him in building the kingdom of Camelot through his knowledge, wisdom, and magical abilities. Though the specifics of Merlin's origins are debatable, he is a fixture of Welsh history and culture. Merlin's ambiguous background allows for reinterpretation, but consistent details reinforce his stature as a Welsh legend. Even as new perspectives emerge, Wales remains intrinsically tied to the Merlin myth and Arthurian lore. Find out more at www.historiatesandcastles.com
