He was 'immaculately' conceived and was able to interpret dreams and utter prophecies. Even his fate was imbued with magic. Like Arthur, he acquired immortality and sleeps on Bardsey Island, in a subterranean chamber with nine companions. Ashe reveals the man behind the myth, establishing beyond doubt the historicity of a Welsh prophet called Myrddin Emrys. Despite his 'supernatural' status it is \u003cem\u003eMerlin\u003c\/em\u003e, of all the great characters of the Arthurian world, who has the strongest claim to have existed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251899814232,"sku":"9780750941501","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780750941501_270adaa4-426e-4bc4-90cf-0e10963d906a.jpg?v=1778505325","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/merlin-9","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
