An amazing amount of myth and folklore worked into a new and fascinating shape! It's hard to find new twists in the story of Myrddyn, but you have done it.

Still confused.

AERONS FLAME is a work of fiction.

That combined as much of actual historic reference as possible.

Still confused.

Every historical part is derived from Historical ( RigoThamus) reference for the Fifth century AD.

I used the Mabinogian, The Gododdin, Mallory, Monmouth, Nenius.

Some Chretien inspiration.

So what exactly didn't happen?

The battle with Euric, outside Avallon?

That's historic fact.

The dispute with Seutonius?

The letter survived.

The tale itself is a composite.

There's debates over who and which is the basis for Arthur.

I took the example from the Fifth century that did the things Mallory referenced.

Can you be specific?

I merely set it in the actual historic context. 450-490AD.
