Hmm... I thought it was one and the same... But you could be right... Drawing the sword from the marked him as the true King, but I recall Excalibur was handed to him by the lady in the lake later... I might have to consult Malory's tome again...
- josh-wrale 10y agoPretty sure he cast Excalibur into the lake and the Lady of the Lake cared for it before returning it to him later. (making the stone sword Excalibur).
- cyberferret 10y agoI do recall Sir Bedevere(?) throwing it back in the lake in the end after Arthur is mortally wounded, but I can't recall the bit where Arthur first throws it to the 'watery bint' before that. Having trouble locating my Arthurian books to research that bit...
- Declanomous 10y agoWell, according to the wikipedia page on Excalibur, depending on the story, sometimes the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur are one and the same, and sometimes they aren't.
