Taliesin is a name like Arthur and Merlin (Myrddin). It has been around for a long time to say the least. I believe the following poem called the Hanes Taliesin tells us the story of the Merovingians back to a time even before Melchizedek.

Hanes Taliesin

1. An impartial Chief Bard Am I to Elphin. My accustomed country Is the land of the Cherubim.

2. Johannes the Diviner I was called by Merddin, At length every King Will call me Taliesin.

3. I was nine months almost In the belly of the hag Ceridwen; I was at first little Gwion, At length I am Taliesin.

4. I was with my Lord In the highest sphere, When Lucifer fell Into the depths of Hell.

5. I carried the banner Before Alexander. I know the names of the stars From the North to the South.

6. I was in Caer Bedion Tetragrammaton; I conveyed Heon [the Divine Spirit] Down to the vale of Ebron.

7. I was in Canaan When Absalom was slain; I was in the Hall of Dôn {Would this take us all the way back to the first De Danaan or DNN?} Before Gwydion was born.

8. I was in the horse's crupper Of Eli and Enoch; I was on the high cross Of the merciful Son of God.

9. I was the chief overseer At the building of the tower of Nimrod; I have been three times resident In the castle of Arianrhod.

10. I was in the Ark With Noah and Alpha; I saw the destruction

Of Sodom and Gomorrah.

11. I was in Africa [Asia?] Before the building of Rome; I am now come here To the remnants of Troia.

12. I was with my King In the manger of the ass; I supported Moses Through the waters of Jordan.

13. I was in the Firmament With Mary Magdalene; I obtained my inspiration From the cauldron of Caridwen.

14. I was Bard of the harp To Deon of Llychlyn; I have suffered hunger With the son of the Virgin.

15. I was in the White Hill In the hall of Cynvelyn, In stocks and fetters A year and a half.

16. I have been in the buttery In the land of the Trinity; It is not known what is the nature Of its meat and its fish.

17. I have been instructed In the whole system of the universe; I shall be till the day of judgement On the face of the earth

18. I have been in an uneasy chair Above Caer Sidin, And the whirling round without motion Between three elements.

19. Is it not the wonder of the world That cannot be discovered?"
