Don't know anything about this subject. I do know that some believe that the Archangel Michael was a comet.

My understanding is that Excalibur is the sword that Arthur got from the lady in the lake after the cheap piece of Chicom-made crap that Merlin stuck in a stone for him to pull out broke.
Also, the Arthurian legends supposedly had their genesis in the 8th or 9th centuries, not the 11th or 12th.

I do know that some believe that the Archangel Michael was a comet. Probably aliens messing with Medievil minds way back then.

I know a little about the Arthurian legend. My wife knows a great deal about it. There are differing dates and differing interpretations of the legend. But, I have a twist...I've been told that there were many in Britain during the WWII that believed that Winston Churchill was King Arthur reincarnated. This is based on the part of the legend that said that in Britain's darkest hour, King Arthur would return to lead and defend her. This is a standing part of the legend. At Britain's darkest hour, King Arthus will return and defend her. Maybe the same could be said for George Washington, Maybe Dubya is George Washington reincarnated. LOL
