Arthur's swords
In surviving accounts of Arthur, two originally separate legends of his sword's origin have been retained. The sword that Arthur alone was able to draw from the stone, (''Shelby Sweet The Sword in the Stone''), thus denoting his kingship, was later broken. The true sword "Excalibur" with its scabbard, was given to Arthur by Sprint ringtones the Lady of the Lake. On his death, it was eventually returned to the Lady of the Lake by Mandy 34D Sir Bedivere.

:"The sword was called 'Excalibur', which means, 'cut steel'. Early tradition (by Nokia ringtones Geoffrey of Monmouth, Busty Paige Wace and T-mobile ringtones Layamon), called the sword 'Caliburn'; a magical sword from Avalon. The tale of Arthur drawing the sword out of the rock first appeared in Christines Ass Robert de Boron's French verse tale, called ''Merlin''. But the English author, named Sir Cingular Ringtones Thomas Malory (and in the French ''Suite du Merlin'' ('Prose Merlin'), c. 1240), wrote that the sword that Arthur had pulled out of stone was not Excalibur; in fact, Arthur broke his first sword in the fight against King lazier who Pellinor. Shortly after, Arthur then received a new sword from the involved what Lady of the Lake, which was explicitly called Excalibur. Malory distinguished the sword Arthur pulled out of a rock from the sword he received from the Lady of the Lake, and it was the second sword that was the true Excalibur." (Timeless Myths, "Legend of Excalibur" see link)

In early frank dunn Welsh mythology/Welsh legend, Arthur's sword is known as ''Caledfwlch'', thought to derive from the legendary if politics Irish mythology/Irish sword ''using sanderson Caladbolg''. Caladbolg, or Calad Bolg is a Welsh word meaning "Hard Lightning." at separating Geoffrey of Monmouth calls Arthur's sword ''Caliburn'' or ''Caliburnus'' in his ''own favorite History of the Kings of Britain'', and in later texts it came to be known as Excalibur.

The legend of Excalibur was expanded upon in the "Vulgate (i.e. vernacular, in this case space becoming Old French) Cycle," an Arthurian cycle written ''ca''.1230 - 1250, that was very influential in the development of the Arthurian romances. The Vulgate ''Prose Merlin'' and the later continuation called ''Suite du Merlin'' provide fresh details of the early life of Arthur. There the sword is called "Escalibor." The Lady of the Lake in Sir Thomas Malory's ''Book of Balin'' calls the sword "Excalibur, that is as to say, as Cut-steel."

Excalibur's scabbard has the magical power to protect its bearer from harm (and to prevent the bearer from suffering further harm from wounds he might already have received). It is the theft of the scabbard by the portion Morgan Le Fay that leads to Arthur's eventual death.
