   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 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.
