In 1307, during the Scottish War of Independence, a Scottish nobleman wrote to Edward III informing him of Merlin’s prophecy predicting the triumph of the Scots, which was being quoted by preachers in their sermons. We edit and comment on this letter, which attests to the popular embracing of the Merlin legend.
