- My father was a Saxon Wizard called LLyr
Merini. Yes legend has it that he was
Merlin. I was an illegitimate son so was
Arthur.
- My mother was a Briton, so was
Arthur's
- Both my name in Saxon and Arthur's
name in Celt mean Strongarm.
- My wife was Guignier, sister of Cador,
Prince of Cornwall. (King Arthur married
Guenevere, raised in the household of Cador
Duke of Cornwall).
- I also spent 25 years in Gaul and ruled at
Nantes and Vannes. (King Arthur spent 9 years
subduing Gaul and held court in Paris. Reigned
in Nantes in some stories)
I was the dynastic founder of Glamorgan. (King
Arthur reigned for 5 years in Glamorgan). |
- Medrot was my Grandson (Arthur died fighting
his nephew Modred)
- Other coincidences in the story of King
Arthur is that he goes to Dunbarton and fights
the Picts and Scots. There is an emphasis on
Dunbarton. This may have been due to confusion
of me with Ceredig of Dunbarton. Someone named
Ceredig gathered a fleet and ravaged the coast
of Ireland around the year 450AD .
King Arthur conquered Ireland and Iceland.
Whilst the story of King Arthur is obviously built
up in legend, like that of Robin Hood, it seems
that much of that legend was based on Me.
Wessex grew into one of Britain's largest Kingdoms
( along with Mercia and Northumbria) and My
descendant King Alfred became King of England.
Thus My blood line runs through to the British
Royal family to this day. The last British king to
also be King of Wessex was Harold.

Now after a thousand years
the Queen's Son, Prince Edward is the next Earl of
Wessex.
