King Arthur
Sort:
You sure?
Excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone!!
Compleetely different!
Yep. Arthur got it from the Lady of the lake when he smashed the sword of the stone on one of his future knights. i think that it was pellinore.
Anyway, which father you talin' bout? Ector or the king?
What?! Melrin got the sword and stuck it in their proclaiming 'whoever takes this sword from the stone is the true king of England'! And I got it from an official website on the internet, and most movies I're seen!
Wher did you get your info?
Thats funny, I'm getting all my info from the tonnes of books I've read on him, and there all screaming the same thing I'M RIGHT GODDAMMIT!
But when the witch character(she has many names) steals excalibur and gives it to some one else she must of held it
I see your point... We've wandered a fair bit from the main subject haven't we?
I'm still not admitting defeat you know.
Whats it called? There are a few out there.
Your link didn't show anything but how about monty pythons quest for the holy grail. TMSWB (til my sides were bursting).

If you want to read a great trilogy on Arthur based on what little is known, read Bernard Cornwells *Warlord Chronicals*. Awsome historical fiction that ends with what historical facts are known and debated amongst historians.
If I remember correctly it was excaliber that Arthur took from the stone. Arthur then lost and broke it as a result of his foolish pride, but it was returned to him by the Lady of the Lake.
Arthur was fatally wounded fighting against Modred at the battle of Badon Hill and Sir Gerwain was instructed by Arthur to cast the sword back into the lake. Gerwain hoping to keep the sword lied twice and was sent back again until he told the truth, that the Lady of the Lake rose to receive it when finally threw it in. Once Arthur was told this he died and was taken to the magical Isle of Avalon to the west of Britain.
Yeah I know bout Sir Wazzizname but wasn't the sword in the stone completely different?
I believe Caliburn was the name of the sword in the stone, he somehow lost it. Excalibur was the sword whose sheath was supposed to protect him from injuries in battle, and this he got from the Lady of the Lake.
Exactly!!@!!
Caliburn and Excalbur are alternative names. Caledfwlch predated them both as being the orignal Arthurian sword.
Hey guys, question. When ARthur was losing the battle blah blah blah he pulled out a sword and blinded his enemies.
heres the question, which one was it?
