Of course, *now* history becomes fun

I love how, in the middle of this very serious chronicle of the Rebellion of 1173-74 - a very christian account - there's suddenly this reference to Merlin: Then seems to have been fulfilled this prophecy of Merlin which says: [sons against fathers, all very symbolic]. Competely serious, too. My note next to it just says, 'wtf?', because, seriously. You just don't expect that kind of thing from a serious historical text.

Am muchly amused.
