Description:
The "Excalibur" was King Arthur's sword. It was not the "Sword in the Stone" (which broke in battle), but a second sword which Merlin helped him get.
With this sword, Arthur fought countless nobel battles against evil.
Merlin was worried that Arthur would fall in battle, Merlin took the King to a magical lake where a mysterious hand thrust itself up from the water, holding aloft a magnificent sword.
Since King Arthur was always in battle, (the sword from the stone broken in battle), Merlin led Arthur to a lake, from the middle of which an arm protruded holding a sword. The sword, Excalibur, belonged to the Lady of the Lake, who gave it to Arthur.
It was the Lady of the Lake offering Arthur a magic unbreakable blade, fashioned by an Avalonian elf smith, along with a scabbard which would protect him as long as he wore it.
Towards the end of his reign, during the troubled times of Medrod's rebellion, Excalibur was stolen by Arthur's wicked half-sister Morgan le Fay.
Though it was recovered, the scabbard was lost forever.
Thus when Arthur was mortally wounded at the Battle of Camlann.
The King then instructed Bedwyr (or Girflet) to return Excalibur to the lake from whence it came.
However, when questioned about the circumstances of its return, Bedwyr claimed to have seen nothing unusual.
Arthur therefore knew that Bedwyr had kept Excalibur for himself and sent him back to the Lake once more. Hurling the sword into the misty waters this time, Bedwyr saw the mystic hand appear to catch Excalibur and draw it beneath the rippling waters for the last time.
