Talk:1521: Sword in the Stone
Revision as of 06:19, 6 May 2015 by The Dining Logician (talk | contribs)
In Arthurian legend, whoever can remove the Sword in the Stone is the lawful king of England. Arthur is an orphan being raised in secret; he notices the sword, removes it, and is proclaimed king. The sword is sometimes identified as Excalibur, although in other versions Excalibur was acquired by King Arthur from the Lady of the Lake. The most familiar version of this story is The Sword in the Stone by T. H. White which is based on Le Mort d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. Having a woman remove the sword would introduce difficulties.
