Excalibur's Origin
■■■■■
The legend of King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, is one of the most famous tales in mythology. But the widely accepted story of how Arthur obtained it often conflicts with other versions of the legend.
●
What People Remember
Most people remember King Arthur pulling Excalibur from a stone to prove his rightful claim to the throne.
◉
What's Actually True
In some versions of Arthurian legend, the sword from the stone that proved his kingship was *not* Excalibur. Excalibur was given to him later by the Lady of the Lake. The two events are often conflated, leading to confusion about the sword's true origin.
