Dear Blake Beattie:

I may be totally mistaken but this sounds remarkably like the story 
about the young Merlin who as the son of a devil and a princess 
became the chosen victim whose sacrifice would secure the foundations 
of the planned castle.  My brain is not in full gear at the moment 
but it is a story that you will probably find in Geoffrey of 
Monmouth.  Perhaps other listmembers will know more.
