Notes
HISTORICAL PERSON WHO IS THE INSPIRATION FOR MERLIN OF ARTHURIAN LEGEND
Everyone knows that the genealogy of Alfred the Great is spurious past a certain point. This becomes evident when he has generations of people who lived in the sixth century preceed those who can be reliably traced to the fourth. At which point does Asher's genealogy become unreliable... Many state that the genealogy of Cerdic cannot be determined yet many of the naming conventions and surviving Roman military records of the sixth century give hints as to his origin in the RomanoBritish families of Wales and Cornwall.
The illegitimate son of Aurelianus he was adopted by his step father Marcianus
