It's about time someone come forth and try to dissolve the clutter and nonsense that surrounds this timeless legend. In my opinion it does seem that Merlin and Ambrosius were the same person. It is also interesting to note that the Welsh and Saxons each had different names for high kings of that period. It may be possible that Myrvlynn may also be another name for a ruler, or over king. Guortygyrn and Guortymyrr are also treated in this manner. Ernestus which may be true name of Guortygyrn, is an example of how the welsh and saxon used other names to classify the kings or rulers of their time. Guortymyrr's life also seems to parallel with Ambrosius's. Very intersting! It’s about time someone come forth and try to dissolve the clutter and nonsense that surrounds this timeless legend.

Some people are just so good they're spooky, and if Merlin was the kind of Roman who wasn't above suggesting that he had some sort of supernatural power... Well, a wizard and a general aren't that far apart. You can also see a supersmart and wily guy going insane for a while after a bad loss that was his fault.
