Erceldoune, Thomas of

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Erceldoune, Thomas of (c. 1220–1297)

Scottish poet and seer. A great number of prophetic sayings were attributed to him, from which he was given the name of True Thomas; he was said in 1286 to have predicted the death of Alexander III. A semi-legendary figure like the English Merlin, he was supposed to have been carried off to Elfland by the fairies, being allowed to revisit Earth for a time.
