I love reading, TV, and I'm a grad student. I spend a lot of time procrastinating lately. Hence my obsession with TV.

Personages in the History of English Magic from the Twelfth to Nineteenth Centuries: John Uskglass, The Raven King (1095?-?)
Scholars and magicians alike agree that, regardless of one’s view of the man, English magic would not be the force it is today without the Raven King. Yet in spite of his significance we know incredibly little of him. We know in 1110 a sidhe army arrived in Northern England led by a boy of 15 who would go on to take the entirety of the North as his domain. Before this, we have only his own accounts of his aristocratic heritage and years spent raised in the court of Auberon–and a Fairy upbringing does not speak well to one’s honesty. Indeed, the King did not hold to even a single name; among his aliases were John Uskglass (allegedly for his human father), the Raven King, the Black King, the King in the North, and the Nameless Slave. While growing up in Faerie it seems his captors called him by their word for starling; alas, no Man living knows what the sidhe word for starling is.
Whoever this man was, one cannot argue his impact. He actively ruled three kingdoms, Northern England among them, for three hundred years; current legislation stands to return the land to him upon his return, and many Northerners consider themselves subjects of the Raven King, only begrudgingly deferring to King and Parliament. This reign did not last. John Uskglass disappeared quite mysteriously in 1434, taking the majority of his court with him. English magic, too, seemed to fade with the king, dwindling over the next three centuries to the merest trickle before its revival at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Superstitions, sightings, and stories of the Black King persist to the present day, but they are the most we Modern people shall ever know of this enigmatic monarch.
