King Arthur's Dagger 4139

The story of King Arthur is closely linked to the magical and mysterious sword Excalibur, whose name means "Steel-Cutting", which was one of its many properties. It was also said that the sheath of Excalibur had the ability to protect whoever carried it, preventing them from being harmed or injured.
There are various legends about how Arthur came to have obtained this mythical sword; two versions stand out above the rest: the first tells of Excalibur as the sword pulled from a rock by Arthur, and the second, as the sword entrusted to the young king by the Lady of the Lake.
In the first version, told by Geoffrey of Monmouth, it is said that upon the death of King Uther Pendragon, Merlin forged the mighty sword Excalibur on the island of Avalon and buried it in a steel anvil on a rock near St. Paul's Cathedral; whoever could draw the sword from his bed would be the rightful king of England. When Arthur was sixteen years old, his father took him and his brothers to London to take part in a knightly fight. While searching for a sword for his brother Kay, Arthur took Excalibur firmly in his grasp, and as he raised it the blade slid smoothly away. And so, immediately, he was crowned king.
