Can anyone solve the riddle to this question? Who are they talking about.its a famous person?

Actually im supposed to figure out who it for homework but after a lot of reaseach i cant figure it out,aso can you help me?THANX..here it goes....

As words have been spoken

in legends of old

this wondrous seer

of welsh birth behold

The latinized version of his name

we must know

held in sanctity hes not

to this day, some grow cold

For the wizened regard him

as a fraud and a curse

while some others to hold him

in reverance due history

PS: please guys if you know WHO the peom or riddle is talking about can you tell me. and if you cant figure it out and want to know the rest of the riddle please email me cuz i cant type it all in here.thanx so much

Update:

With his eyes he could see

what others could not

this cursed him and spared him

from shear trickery, then fraught

A son he did bear

with another mans wife

this mistakened identity

cost the husband his life

The child was swathed

in the cloth of a size

by wizardly his claims

then took him much higher

thats the rest and all of it i know of at the momet,thax if you helped and if you tried too

    My best guess is Merlin, from the Arthurian legends:

    - he was a "seer"

    - his name, "Merlin" is the Latinized version of the Welsh word, "Myrddin"
