Prophecy writing was used as political propaganda by both revolt movements and monarchies in medieval Britain. This presentation will present audience members with prophecies by Merlin and the lesser-known prophet Thomas Erceldoune, which were written between the 13th and 15th centuries. Prophecy was a versatile medium that could be interpreted and, more importantly, reinterpreted while maintaining social relevance.
