002 THE LEGEND OF VORTIGERN - prologue

www.StoryLinkRadio.com The story of the legendary king who invited the English to Britain and discovered Arthur's mentor, Merlin. King two generations before Arthur, Vortigern opens Britain to the Saxons, ancestors of the modern English. Rising from humble roots, he takes center stage at court in a crisis moment, plays and loses a vicious game of Dark Age power-politics, and is driven into exile in mountain wilderness, there to encounter dragons, demons, prophecy—and a child who turns out to be Merlin. He meets a hauntingly violent end at the hands of Arthur's future father and uncle. Vortigern's is a tale of courage, cowardice, glory and crime, tragedy and treason.
