Merlin's French Encounter

Merlin had moved on following the death of his wife when the Globe theatre burned down. He arrived during the French Revolution and Madame Guillotine, aiding the landed gentry in escaping France.

He becomes Thomas Vale, a supposed migrant to the colonies in America, but the real Thomas Vale died many years ago. Thomas' mother is only too pleased to accept Merlin as her son.

The English government is treacherous, and our Thomas Vale must resolve it. He becomes a Scarlet Pimpernel character, aiding the gentry in their escape from the country to England.

After Napoloen's coup later in France, Merlin is then transported to the Battle of Waterloo to help Wellington before moving on to Winston Churchill's early life in Sudan and South Africa, finalizing in World War II --where he meets the young Princess Elizabeth and Margaret on their experience at Victory in Europe Day.
