In one universe, Merlin, then still known as “Ambrosius”, told a version of Jenny Everywhere that his mother'had told him that his grandfather had been a king. He also told her that he himself “didn't have a father”. (PROSE: Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)

Behind the scenes

In the earliest version of the Prose Brut, Merlin's mother is named “Adhan” and identified as the daughter of the obscure historical British King Aurelius Conanus, here “King Conaan”. Ironically, Aurelius Conanus is believed to have been a descendant of the historical Ambrosius Aurelianius, legendary accounts of whose life were later incorporated into the legends of King Arthur and Merlin — being the reason Merlin's birth name is sometimes given as “Ambrosius”, as is the case in Close Encounter of the Bird Kind. There is no historical support for Adhan's existence.

Most Arthurian sources depict Merlin's (usually-unnamed) mother as a nun who was impregnated by a demon, a fact hinted at in Close Encounter of the Bird Kind by Merlin's statement that he “doesn't have a father”.
