His origins and development

From wise child with no earthly father to

Megastar of Arthurian Legend

 

Merlin the magician is one of the most colourful characters in the Arthurian Legend. Merlin is the creation of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who in his History of the Kings of Britain blended together the Welsh tale about a prophet named Myrddin with the story that the chronicler Nennius tells about Ambrosius who had no human father.

The modern traditional story of Merlin is that he was the illegitimate son of a monastic Royal Princess of Dyfed. The lady's father, however, King Meurig ap Maredydd ap Rhain, is not found in the traditional Royal Lineages of this kingdom and was probably a chieftain of the region bordering on Ceredigion. Merlin's father, it is said, was an angel who had visited the Royal nun and left her with child. Merlin's enemies claimed his father was really an incubus, an evil spirit that has intercourse with sleeping women.

Accounts of the 4th century then tells us that after the Roman withdrawal from Britain and Vortigen’s usurpation of the throne from the rightful heirs that the Saxons were occupying large areas of the country. Vortigern was in flight from the Saxon breakout and went to Snowdonia, in North Wales, in hopes of constructing a mountain fortress at Dinas Emrys where he might be safe. Unfortunately, the building kept collapsing and Vortigern's house wizards told him that a human sacrifice of a fatherless child would solve the problem. One small difficulty was that such children are rather hard to find. Fortunately for Vortigern's fortress, Merlin was known to have no human father and happened to be available.

 

Before the sacrifice could take place, Merlin used his great visionary powers and attributed the structural problem to a subterranean pool in which lived a red and a white dragon. The meaning of this, according to Merlin, was that the red dragon represented the Britons, and the white dragon, the Saxons. The dragons fought, with the white dragon having the best of it, at first, but then the red dragon drove the white one back.

 

The meaning was clear. Merlin prophesied that Vortigern would be slain and followed on the throne by Ambrosius Aurelianus, then Uther, then a greater leader, Arthur. It would fall to him to push the Saxons back.

True to the prophecy, Vortigern was slain and Ambrosius took the throne. Later, Merlin appears to have inherited his grandfather's little kingdom, but abandoned his lands in favour of the more mysterious life for which he has become so well known.

After 460 it is alleged that British nobles were massacred at a peace conference, as a result of Saxon trickery, Ambrosius consulted Merlin about erecting a suitable memorial to them. Merlin, along with Uther, led an expedition to Ireland to procure the stones of the Chorea Gigantum, the Giant's Ring.

Merlin, by the use of his extraordinary powers, brought the stones back to a site, just west of Amesbury, and re-erected them around the mass grave of the British nobles. We now call this place Stonehenge.

After his death, Ambrosius was succeeded by his brother, Uther, who, during his pursuit of Gorlois and his irresistable wife, Ygerna (Igraine or Eigr in some texts), back to their lands in Cornwall, was aided by Merlin. As a result of a deception made possible by Merlin's powers, Uther was transformed into the image of Gorlois. He entered their castle, managed to fool Ygraine into thinking he was her husband, had his way with her and in the course of things, conceived a child, Arthur. Poor Gorlois, not knowing what was going on, went out to meet Uther in combat, but instead, was slain by Uther's troops.

After Arthur's birth, Merlin became the young boy's tutor, while he grew up with his foster-father, Sir Ector (alias Cynyr Ceinfarfog the Fair Bearded). In the defining moment of Arthur's career, Merlin arranged for the sword-in-the-stone contest by which the lad became king. Later, the magician met the mystic Lady of the Lake at the Fountain of Barenton (in Brittany) and persuaded her to present the King with the magical sword, Excalibur. In the romances, Merlin is the creator of the Round Table, and is closely involved in aiding and directing the events of the king and kingdom of Camelot.

 

He is pictured by Geoffrey of Monmouth, at the end of Arthur's life, accompanying the wounded Arthur to the Isle of Avalon for the healing of his wounds. Others tell how having fallen deeply in love with the Lady of the Lake, he agreed to teach her all his mystical powers. She became so powerful that her magical skills outshone even Merlin's. Determined not to be enslaved by him, she imprisoned the old man in a glass tower, a cave or similarly suitable prison. Thus his absence from the Battle of Camlann was ultimately responsible for Arthur's demise.

 

Merlin is likely to be an amalgam of several well-known bards, of which Myrddin was one. The earliest mention of Myrddin is in Aneirin's The Gododdin. The other figure of this composite Merlin is probably the bard Lailoken, who is mentioned in the 12th century, Life of St. Kentigern.

In Geoffrey's book, Merlin assists Uther Pendragon and transports the stones of Stonehenge from Ireland, but there is no Arthurian connection in Geoffrey's works.

Merlin became a widely used character in the Middle Ages. Merlin is a central character in the thirteenth-century French Vulgate cycle.

Sir Thomas Malory, in the Morte d'Arthur presents Merlin as the adviser and guide to Arthur.

Tennyson makes Merlin the architect of Camelot. And Merlin features in Mark Twain. Numerous novels, poems and plays are centred around Merlin. Merlin is perhaps the most frequently portrayed Arthurian character.

Several sites associated with Merlin's birthplace, Carmarthen, the circle he constructed at Stonehenge, Merlin's Cave at Tintagel, and the wizard's well at Alderley Edge. Carmarthen, which means "Myrddin Town."

Merlin’s burial place is said to be

1 Beneath Merlin's Mound at Marlborough College in Marlborough (Wiltshire),

2 Drumelzier in Tweeddale (Scotland)

3 Bryn Myrddin (Merlin's Hill) near Carmarthen (South Wales)

Le Tombeau de Merlin (Merlin's Tomb) near Paimpont (Brittany)

Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) off the Lleyn Peninsula (North Wales). This site is also claimed by some to be the Isle of Avalon.

 

Various stories associated with Merlin are:-

1. Vortigern died and Ambrosius became king. Merlin was his advisor. After a bloody battle with many killed, Ambrosius asked Merlin how the dead should be remembered; Merlin advised that Stonehenge be built as a memorial. The stones needed were in Ireland, and it needed an invasion of Ireland by Uther, who with help from Merlin brought the stones back to build Stonehenge..

2. Merlin was responsible for Arthurs conception, making Uther appear as her husband to Igraine. The result of the union was Arthur.

3. Robert de Boron repeats Geoffrey's story of Merlin's origin and embroiders it with the creation of the Round Table and the Holy Grail story. He foresees the need for a Round Table and for Arthur. He arranges the birth of Arthur as in Geoffrey. The infant Arthur is given to Merlin for safe keeping, and the King Arthur is proclaimed when the boy Arthur pulls the sword Excalibur from an anvil set on top of a stone.

4. Merlin helps Perceval fulfill the Grail Quest.

5. In Malory Merlin is the magician at the court of Camelot, fighting off the spells of Morgan Le Fay and other witches.

6. Merlin falls under the influence of the Lady of the Lake. The result being that she puts one of his own spells on him, and he is locked away in a glass tower. Tennyson shows Merlin as a tired old man who almost seems to want to be locked away.

 

Was Geoffrey on Monmouth’s Merlin based on a later figure?

According to Geoffrey's Vita Merlini (The Life of Merlin) Circa 1151 CE Merlin/Myrddin was a sixth century prophet living in the North of Britain, probably Cumbria, where his career extended beyond Arthur. Merlin travelled north, after Camlann, to the court of King Gwendoleu of Caer-Guenoleu (north of the Salway) where the locals called him Lailoken (or Llallogan).

Shortly afterward, a war broke out between Merlin's Royal master and the three allies, King Riderch Hael (the Generous) of Strathclyde and Kings Peredyr & Gwrgi of Ebrauc (York). Gwendoleu was killed in the ensuing Battle of Ardderyd (Arthuret) and Merlin, sent mad with grief at the death of his nephew and four brothers, fled into the Caledonian Forest.

He lived there in a mad frenzy for over a year, becoming known as Myrddin Wylt (the Wild), before Riderch, who was his brother-in-law, found him and brought him to safety in the Strathclyde Court.

Some scholars believe there were two Merlins: Myrddin Emrys and Myrddin Wylt. The fact that Merlin apparently lived from the reign of Vortigern (c.420) to the reign of Riderch Hael (c.580) would certainly support this view.

The stretch from Vortigern to Arthur is itself unlikely and early versions of the "Vortigern at Dinas Emrys" story give the fatherless boy as Emrys Wledig (Ambrosius Aurelianus) who was living in Campus Elleti in Glywysing. Despite Myrddin Wylt's story indicating he may have had a conceptual origin in one of the wild-man-in-the-woods motifs common to the ancient folklore of the British Isles, this man's historicity is quite well established. His real name, however, may have been Lailoken.

Was this man misplaced in time, by Geoffrey of Monmouth, to become King Arthur's mentor, some memory of a similar character from Caer-Fyrddin giving rise to his new name? PC Bartrum thinks not and points out that "fundamentally there is only one Merlin/Myrddin, and some of the later legends cannot be consistently classified as appropriate to one rather than the other."

His prison and/or burial place is said to be beneath Merlin's Mound at Marlborough College in Marlborough (Wiltshire), at Drumelzier in Tweeddale (Scotland), Bryn Myrddin (Merlin's Hill) near Carmarthen (Wales), Le Tombeau de Merlin (Merlin's Tomb) near Paimpont (Brittany) and Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) off the Lleyn Peninsula (Wales).
