Mythology
Some depictions of Arthurian legend held that Merlin was ruined by a fairy queen named Morrigan.[2]
Legacy
By the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England, there was a wine named after Merlin and Arthur, called Merlin & Arthur Imperial Stout. In 2015, Shaun Hastings tasted this wine and then wrote a tasting note.[3]
