Excalibur is the most accepted name of King Arthur's legendary sword, to which different extraordinary properties have been attributed.
There are several theories regarding the origin of its name. One of the most accepted is that it comes from the Latin "EX Calce Liberatus", "Freed from the Stone". Others consider Excalibur to mean "Cut Steel", referring to one of its many magical properties.
Legend has it that, when King Uther Pendragon died, Merlin forged a sword (Excalibur) on the Isle of Avalon (The Isle of Fairies) and stuck it into a stone in London near a Chapel.
The most widespread legend tells that Arturo managed to get it out of the rock by an act of magic by Marlin. The sword was kept in a scabbard that prevented the King from losing blood when he carried it in battle. Already dying, Arthur ordered his Knight to throw the sword into the lake where Nimue, The Lady of the Lake, lived. As he tosses her, a hand clad in white silk grabs her and carries her into the depths.
It is said that the sword rests with the King in Avalon awaiting his return.
