"Adam Ardrey, who stumbled upon some of the hidden sources of Merlin's life while researching the history of a Scottish clan, offers evidence that links a very real Merlin figure into the histories of other real and prominent sixth century figures - and shows us how and why Merlin's true history has been hidden through the ages. From the time of his death to the present day, historical records relating to Merlin have been suppressed or altered by Christian writers, his true provenance and importance obscured, and his real power and influence undermined by slurs that he was a madman." "Finding Merlin uncovers new evidence and reexamines the old. The places where Merlin was born, lived, died, and was buried are identified, as are the people surrounding him - his nemesis, the fanatic Mungo, his friend, the hero Arthur, and his twin sister, Languoreth, as intelligent and powerful as her brother but whose story has been nearly obliterated by patriarchal Church traditions. In this book, Merlin leaps from the pages of legend into history."--BOOK JACKET.
