  Myrddin Wyllt - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Myrddin Wyllt is the wild man of the woods mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini.
Myrddin Wyllt should not be confused with Myrddin Emrys commonly called Merlin, the advisor of Ambrosius Aurelianus and Arthur Pendragon.
Myrddin Wyllt is said to have gone mad after a certain battle in 573 C.E. He fled into the forest and lived with the animals.

 The Story of Myrddin Wyllt: Elis Gruffudd
The books show that this Myrddin was so unstable in mind and senses that he would not live within dwelling houses, especially during the three months of summer, but in caves in the rocks and in harbours of his own work in the glens and the woods on either side of the river Conway.
All these she placed in order besides the bread and butter inside the harbour to which Myrddin was wont to come, when he was in his senses, to take his nourishment.
'Myrddin the wise and my true brother, I saw the second dream, that is, in my sleep thought that I was standing in an alder grove of the straightest and fairest trees which the heart of man could think of or imagine.

 Myrddin Wyllt
In the early native sources, Myrddin Wyllt is mentioned by name in a number of early Cymric 'visionary' poetry; the earliest of these being in the Armes Prydein Fawr (c.
Though this is not explicitly stated in the Myrddin sources it would seem that matters came to a head between Gwenddoleu and Rhydderch and this led to the conflict of Arfderydd (which the Annales Cambriae dates to c 573 CE).
Indeed, the closest parallel to the flying and death episodes of Suibhne comes in the tale of Lleu Llaw Gyffes who, according to the Mabinogi of Math fab Mathonwy is injured with a spear and flies to the crown of an oak tree to conceal and protect himself.

Myrddin's pluralism is seen early on, when he tells Porius, '"I am what you see"' (60), indicating that his being depends on frames of reference.
Myrddin says that he will unmake himself as Cronos, but this unmaking in the future is prefigured by his deauthorisation in the present.
By 'crooked-counselling', Myrddin means the advancement of arguments in a deauthorised way, as provisionals, and he proceeds immediately to provisionalise his own account of his strategy of deauthorisation (a fine example of consistency) by saying it may all be his imagination (he does so again at p.

The earliest 'Myrddin' prophecy is that put into the mouth of Merlinus Ambrosius in Nennius, in a narrative which has evident affinities with that of 'Lludd and Llevelys'.
It should be noted that the favourite Myrddin of Welsh poetry is Myrddin Wylltt, who is not associated with the Nennius story at all, but with Rhydderch Hael and Gwenddoleu, as we see in the 'Hoianau' and 'Afallenau'.
As already stated, the framework of the Welsh Myrddin poems is the story of Myrddin Wyllt, as may be seen in the twelfth-century poems of the 'Afallenau' and 'Hoianau' of the Black Book of Carmarthen.

 Gwenddydd
The poem is of the discourse type with the stanzas alternating between Gwenddydd as the querent and Myrddin as the responder.
The poem relates part of the tale of how Myrddin became mat at the battle of Arfderydd (c 573 CE) At the battle, Myrddin's nephew, the son of his sister Gwenddydd was killed as was his lord, Gwenddoleu.
Though in both poems, the Afallennau and the Ymddiddan Myrddin a Gwenddydd ei Chwaer Gwenddydd is presented as Myrddin's sister, in other tradditions she protrayed as his mistress hich would make Gwenddydd's son Myrddin's own son.

 Was Myrddin a composite?
> Myrddin Wyllt > Was Myrddin a composite?
Most scholars divide Myrddin into two phases: the pre-Galfridian, where he is the wild man/prophet supposedly of the late 6th century; and Geoffrey of Monmouth's Myrddin/Merlin who is connected with the Arthurian legends, which has nothing to do with the elusive poet-bard we are seeking.
It has been suggested by more than a few medieval history experts that the Welsh Myrddin surfaced and circulated around the same time that the other two stories, along with other northern saga material, were imported into the Carmarthen area.

If these two bards called Myrddin were originally variants of the same figure their stories have become so different in the earliest texts that we have about them that they are best treated as separate characters, even though similar incidents are ascribed to both.
This Myrddin had nothing to do with Arthur and flourished after the Arthurian period.
The earliest Welsh poems that concern the Myrddin legend present him as a madman living a wretched existence in the Caledonian Forest, ruminating on his former existence and the disaster that brought him low: the death of his lord Gwenddolau, whom he served as bard.

He appeared in Arthurian legend as an enigmatic figure, fluctuations and inconsistencies in his character being often dictated by the requirements of a particular narrative or by varying attitudes of suspicious regard toward magic and witchcraft.
The manuscript shows that there once existed a legend of Myrddin Wyllt, a wild man of the woods who went mad at the sight of a battle, a legend associated with Suibne Geilt in Ireland and with Lailoken in Scotland.
The historical poet Taliesin also became the central prophetic figure in a folk tale that was given literary form in the 9th or 10th century, but that has survived only in certain monologues preserved in The Book of Taliesin and in garbled versions in late texts of Hanes Taliesin ("Story of Taliesin").

The Welsh Myrddin Wyllt is also associated with a wolf or a dog (among other animals).
The Welsh Myrddin, too, is also said to live near a spring or fountain in the forest of Celyddon, in what is now Scotland.
Since Kervarker undoubtedly was familiar with both the Welsh Myrddin legends and contemporary theories about Druidism (he was a member of the Welsh Gorsedd of Bards of the Isle of Britain), this pleasing song cannot be regarded as a independent, pristine survival of a Breton version of the Merlin legend.

 Arthurian Studies - UNIVERSITY OF WALES PRESS
Geoffrey's Merlin derives from a combination of traditions preserved in Welsh poetry concerning the poet-prophet Myrddin (see Jarman's Ymddiddan Myrddin a Thaliesin), and the unrelated tale of the wonder-child Ambrosius, which he derived from the Historia Brittonum.
Considerable advances have been made in the understanding of the Welsh and Irish cognates and sources of the poem: all of these are reflected in the apparatus to BC's careful edition.
The `Vita Merlini' has a special importance as supplementing from lost sources the Welsh traditions about Myrddin Wyllt: it also presents an essential facet to the portrayal of Merlin in Arthurian romance.

It was Geoffrey of Monmouth who brought the character of Merlin into the stories, although later found that the character on whom he had based Merlin, Myrddin Wyllt, had lived over a generation later than Arthur was supposed to have, not that that stopped Geoffrey going onto tell further stories about Merlin's origins.
The story of Arthur began to expand in the Mediaeval French royal court where it became considerably more magically embellished.

There appears to be a tradition that Aedan of DunAdd retaliated against Rhydderch at Dunbarton due to the death of Conval in this battle, and the date of death given in this kinglist certainly appears to support this tradition.
