@sapphael: Replying to @Danny 🫀🦌 Please forgive me for making a serious response to this goofy comment. I know you don’t want or need it. But I’ve been working on a long BBC Merlin research project so when I tell you that Merlin has been on my mind for most of my waking hours for the past week… #medieval #History #merlin #servants #royalty
Oh so he wasn’t Arthurs gay servant, just a servant that happened to be gay for him

MEA :
unless I'm remembering wrong before uther did all the horrible things he did weren't the dragon Lords considered royalty and if so by that logic Merlin would technically be a higher class individual just nobody knows it

Danny 🫀🦌 :
no this definitely needed to be answered. so I definitely believe it would be in canon for Arthur to make this position a thing just for Merlin like some bs about Merlin's dragon lord status making him nobility but only for the purpose that he still has to serve him and that makes their "poetry lessons" less suspicious.

what about those guys hanging out with arthur in the first episode? when arthur meets merlin the first & second time 👀 i also always imagined leon taking on a similar role when arthur was young, although he is a knight

He could have been one wasn't Uther wasn't the worst person ever and Merlin inherited his father's status.

So similar to a butler, a butler manages the lower house staff for the master/mister

Obviously Camelot is a very big castle, if it was actually built for Camelot, how big would the actual Court be, Like in the show it's 12 people but what would the size be irl

Arthur famously didn't care about status and wouldn't care about following the rules

Ask for Merlin being born a peasant his mom was a peasant, but I’m pretty sure the dragons were Lords weren’t they like pre-purge i’m pretty sure the dragon lords were titled nobility. I thought I remembered hearing that or watching that bit, but due to the purge, they had all their titles and lands stripped, and were ostracized and banished and hunted because of their connections to the dragons and hell well you didn’t have to have magic to be a dragon lord being a dragon lord was a kind of was seen as a kind of magic being able to command dragons was seen as a magic ability even if they couldn’t cast spells like other sorcerers, though you could be a sorcerer and a dragon Lord, like Merlin’s father Balinor who could use at least a few simple spells probably I think a little bit more of that but also like I mean, it’s not like he was Emerys but he would I think have been powerful enough to command the great dragon and be left alive bye Uther in exchange for the treaty thing, but then Luther went back on his word so he ran away. They’re probably would’ve gone back on his word and kill him anyways,
