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.

Thanks. I wondered about the reference to King Arthur also. Most date him to around AD540. I just thought perhaps there was another King Arthur.(?)
