Look for Celtic Lore around 1065 ad.

Battle of Hastings took place in 1066. That was the last time Mab and Titania shared a civil conversation.

Was Hastings mentioned? I thought she had just said in a thousand years but I'm not sure, and don't have the book on me ATM.

KevinSig:
Just figured this WOJ should be mentioned here
--- Quote ---Q: Can you tell us a little more about the black staff?
A: The staff keeps Eb from going crazy, mostly. Also, the White Council stole it from someone. And they really want it back.

I'm not good at keeping track of the timeline, but does 1065 AD seem to correspond with when people assume Jim had the original Merlin active?
...
Of course, given how interesting Merlin seems to be, just based of the hints we've heard of him, I'm starting to wonder if Harry & Merlin might be the same person. There's a WOJ on Merlin I'm going to have to track down.
--- Quote ---Q: Is the original Merlin still alive?
A: Kind of… life… death… it’s kind of a squishy line in the Dresdenverse.

2010 Powell's books Q&A off of Youtube @8:20
If the Dresden books were about Merlin, it does seem to fit. Harry Dresden isn't Merlin yet, but he's getting there.

With magic like what we saw in the creation of Demonreach? I love Harry, but nothing human made that spell, imho. Or at least nothing human designed it; it's too difficult for us to think in more than three dimensions at once. Four dimensions is doable, we guess at that when we try to picture black holes, but setting up spells to run across multiple dimensions beyond our three physical ones + time? Egh. Not when Demonreach had to dumb it down in order for Bob to understand it. Theoretical physicists imagine plenty of other dimensions, but they don't try to describe what it would be like to actually move around and do stuff in them, other than maybe a fourth physical dimension.
Maybe something happens to Harry in the future to turn him into a super-genius(less Wile E. Coyote, more Stephen Hawking on mental steroids) which allows him to make spells like that-- but barring that, I can't believe it.
