Esplumoir Merlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The esplumoir Merlin is a place mentioned in the Arthurian legend in relation with the magician Merlin. It notably appears in the Didot Perceval [fr] uncertainly attributed to Robert de Boron, and is also mentioned in Raoul de Houdenc's Meraugis de Portlesguez. Its nature is uncertain, but it probably relates to a metamorphosis into a bird. It is presented as a hut, a tower or a high rock and is sometimes likened to the Hotié de Viviane, a megalithic site in Brittany.[2]
