Excalibur
Excalibur is King Arthur's sword. There are two stories that describe how Arthur got his sword. In one Arthur alone was able to draw the sword out of a stone in which it had been magically fixed. Another story suggests that Excalibur was given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake and that, when the king lay mortally wounded after his last battle, he ordered the faithful Sir Bedivere to go to the water and throw the sword into it. An arm rose to catch it, brandished Excalibur three times, and then disappeared.
