Seems unlikely that he was born in 465 and died in 612... Ghmyrtle ( talk) 14:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
"Arthurian scholar Norma Lorre Goodrich ..." Oh, really? Goodrich's so-called "scholarship" has been soundly discredited by real scholars. Goodrich's versions of the Arthurian mythos are creative and imaginative, but surely they have nothing to do with scholarship. Can anyone cite any peer-reviewed work by Goodrich about Merlin, or are her fairy-tales being presented as actual academic studies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 ( talk) 13:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I have just read Goodrich's book and her dramatic rebuttals of all the false information on Merlin/St Dubricius (one and the same person) are sure to raise the ire of academicia that have been repeating the same old claptrap for hundreds of years. Norma provides intensive references and she provides all the evidence on both sides of the story. Then she systematically goes and demolishes all the false information by showing the contradictions in these sources. She should be lauded and praised for showing that the Lady Of the Lake was a masterful healer and would never even consider murdering her teacher, master and friend Merlin/Dubricius. She exposed all the medieval slander and hatred of women and resultant slander against the Magnificent Lady Of The Lake. Sorry I strongly disagree with you. Of course "real" scholars would attempt to discredit her when she exposes them for repeating all the slander that has occurred for many centuries against the Lady Of the Lake and even Merlin aka St Dubricius. She points out the hatred that existed against educated, extremely intelligent and masterful women from 300 AD up to almost the present age, and may I suggest this is persisting in the belittling of Goodrich. 76.171.150.240 ( talk) 04:22, 11 August 2014 (UTC) Dr Raymond Schep.
Is this really the guy's common name? Generally English only favors Latin for the classical era and would now tend to call this guy Dyfrig... — LlywelynII 20:51, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
