Old King Coel turns out not to be a merry old soul but rather a bit of a warmonger.

Merlin is one of the most major characters of the Arthurian legend — some would say more so than Arthur himself. He was Arthur's chief adviser and vizier. Folklore paints him as a powerful wizard but Geoffrey has a more ecclesiastic agenda and wants to represent all the goodies as Christian and the baddies as pagan so in this account he paints Merlin as a great prophet. In fact book 7 is a single long prophesy that reads more like Biblical apocalyptic literature than medieval history.craigdav1 wrote:Merlin?
But that's for next time. For now, here's the end of Book 6.
