Vortigern is remembered in legend as one of the worst Kings of the Britons - the King who "gave Britain away".
It's no surprise that the Legend of Arthur lives on - it's a human story, as old as our history, moving, inspiring and a classic tear-jerker.
Merlin, the wise and mighty wizard and prophet, is the most prominent Celtic element in Arthurian Legend.

Did King Arthur die or is he only sleeping? Arthur's mysterious departure is one of the most intriguing of Arthurian legends, either King Arthur is still alive in Avalon and awaiting his moment to return, or he was killed in battle. What happened to Arthur? Did he die and was buried? Was he placed in a tomb which vanished in a mist? Was he taken to Avalon to be healed of his wounds? Some say that Arthur was turned into a raven, a royal bird strongly associated with myth and legend in Wales and the West Country. I like to think that Arthur, the Once and Future King, Rex quondam Rexque futurus has joined the other Sleeping Heroes, and will return to help Britain in her darkest hour.
