Comment on point of view

The story of King Arthur is narrated from the first person point of view of Derfel. However, there are two Derfel's. The first is a scribe in a monastery cell recalling the events of Arthur's life and deeds; he is writing on parchment in the Saxon language. The second Derfel is Lord Derfel of Cadarn, Warrior of the Cauldron, and one of King Arthur's most powerful and trusted warrior kings.
