Excalibur Medieval Sword

King Arthur was a victorious leader over Camelot.
Following a lengthy battle, the brave King found himself before a beautiful damsel known as 'The Lady of the Lake.' This fair maiden held in her hands a beautiful sword stretching from the depths of the water. King Arthur gripped the handle and removed the sword with her blessing and returned to his court to victor in yet another battle.

This excellent quality sword features a mirror polished steel blade. The hilt and pommel are blanketed in intricate designs adding a touch of class to this unique favourite.

Arthur was the first born son of King Uther Pendragon and heir to the throne. A wise magician, advised that the baby Arthur should be raised in a secret place and that none should know his true identity. As Merlin feared, when King Uther died there was great conflict over who should be the next king. Merlin used his magic to set a sword in a stone. Written on the sword, in letters of gold, were these words:
'Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone is the rightwise born king of all England.'

Of course all the contenders for the throne took their turn at trying to draw the sword, but none could succeed. Arthur, quite by chance, withdrew the sword for another to use in a tournament. Following this he became King. He gathered Knights around him and fought back against the Saxons who, since the Romans left Britain, were slowly but surely taking the country over. After many great battles and a huge victory at Mount Badon the Saxons' advance was halted.
