The middle child was the first to succumb to temptation. She was caught committing adultery with a squire, and was buried alive for her sin.
With cunning, the devil sent a woman to lure the youngest sister to sin and damnation. The woman advised the sister it would be wrong to lead a life without a man and sex.
The older woman told the maiden that to avoid punishment of the law, the sister should take on many lovers, by becoming a whore.
So the youngest sister sold her soul to the devil, when she started sleeping with every man in town. When the oldest sister found out what had happened to her younger sibling, she was distressed and fearful that she would also fall into temptation. So she sought help from the good priest again.
So the priest advised the young woman that she must avoid sin and believe in God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. She must pray each evening, and cross herself before going to bed. Blaise warned the girl to avoid anger or wrath, which was the easiest sin to fall into.
So the young woman lived a life of prayers and chastity. The woman tried to get her sinful to leave her home, but she refused. Distressed and angry, she collapsed on her bed, weeping until she fell asleep, but she forgot to pray and commend herself to God, by crossing herself. As she slept, the incubus came to her and had sex with her, causing her to conceive a child.
She took her problem to Blaise, who did not think it was possible for to lose her virginity without knowing whom her lover were. So the priest thought she was lying. Yet, the woman was adamant that she had not committed any cardinal sin. Blaise told her to send for him, if she was ever in trouble with the law because of mysterious pregnancy.
The priest as a precaution wrote down when she had lost her virginity. The young woman feared that she would have to face a similar death that of his younger adulterous middle sister of being buried alive.
Fearing to die, she sent for her confessor. Blaise failed to persuade the judge to spare the unfortunate girl, so he asked for the postponement of her execution, allowing her to give birth to the child; at least until the child was able to eat by itself.
The girl was imprisoned, and two women were to share her cell, to help with delivery and the care of the pregnant woman. Blaise told the unfortunate damsel that she should have the child immediately baptize after giving birth, before the priest departed.
Months had passed, and the two women helped her delivered the child. They were all shocked and frightened to see her son was so hairy like a wild animal. She named the child after her unfortunate father, Merlin. No women in her town were willing to nurse Merlin, because they feared him.
The devil had planned that this child of his would become the Antichrist that the Book of Revelation had foretold. However, the devil defeated his own plan, when the newborn baby was baptised, which free the child from being a demonic monster. So months have past, as she raised her son in the prison cell, until the eighteenth month. The two women finally decided that it was time for them to leave, but leaving would mean that the young mother would be executed soon.
No matter how she would plead, they refused to stay any longer, now that her son could walk and eat by himself. As the two women were petitioning to leave, Merlin tried to comfort his mother by telling her that he would save her from execution. Stunned that her son could talk, she dropped him on the floor, causing him to wail.
The women returned, where the mother told them that her son could speak. The women thought she was mad and trying to kill her own son. Her son did not say anything. When news of this wonder became public, the judges had decided that it would be time to execute the mother. All the judges were amazed that the boy could talk at this age. But the judge stubbornly insisted Merlin to prove to him, who is his real father.
She thought Merlin was the devil. Merlin also mentioned that she had continued to have her long, secret affair with the priest to this present day, because she had most recently slept with priest, as late as last night.
The judge realised that everything Merlin had told them was the truth. For this reason, Merlin had a great deal of power, which included ability to see everything of the past.
God also gave Merlin the power to see into the future. The priest would fear the judge and flee into the woods, before drowning in a pond. The judge did what Merlin advised him to do, sending two men to secretly follow his mother, who went to the priest.
As Merlin had predicted, the priest thought that now the secret was out, the judge would probably have him tried and executed, so the priest fled from his home, into the woods. Rather than go through the ignoble execution that he thought he would receive from his own son, the priest leaped into the lake. The judge now believed all that Merlin had claimed, naming him wise. When Merlin departed with his mother, Blaise decided to accompany the prodigy.
It was said that Blaise was the chronicler of the reign of Arthur and the high adventure of the Holy Grail. Blaise otherwise known as Bleheris was also said to be either Welsh or Breton poet, who composed the lost archetype legend of Tristan , which the poet Beroul and Thomas may have used as their source for their own poems.
House of Constantine , Grail Legend. When Uther died it was Merlin who informed the barons of Logres that only a person, who could draw the sword from the stone, would be the rightful king. Some lords were discontent when only Arthur could draw the sword.
Merlin was also involved with Arthur, providing strategy to win the war against the rebel barons. When Arthur broke this sword that had named him king in a fight with King Pellinor Pellehen , Merlin brought Arthur to the lake where he received a new sword from the Lady of the Lake. Merlin told the young king that the scabbard was better than the sword, because it would prevent him from bleeding from his wounds.
In the Didot Perceval , he aided Perceval in several adventures. Merlin foretold of the greatness of Lancelot and Tristan, though Merlin had died shortly after Lancelot was born. According to the legend, Blaise was responsible for the chronicle of Arthur and the Grail. This seat was called Siege Perilous. Only the pure and best knight in the world could sit on the Siege Perilous.

Another firm tradition - taken up by Geoffrey of Monmouth who did so much to foster the Arthurian myth - has Merlin as a Welshman, born in Carmarthen, which means "Myrddin's town".
He is said to have been the child of a human mother and an incubus, or demon. Myrddin's name changed to Merlin around five centuries after his death, as writers retold the stories in French and, it is claimed felt that Myrddin was too close to the coarse French merde.
In the Jerry Bruckheimer blockbuster King Arthur, Merlin is presented as much closer to his true roots. Played by Stephen Dillane, he appears as a warlike Pict, living on the Scottish border. Steve Blake, director of the Centre for Arthurian Studies in Bangor, said: "Beneath the romance and beneath the legends, there was almost certainly a Myrddin.
