Yes, in one of the legends Morgan Le Fay stole Excalibur when she captured Arthur and another knight named Accolon, who she was in love with. She forced Arthur and Accolon to fight each other without knowing their opponents identities. Morgan gave Accolon Excalibur and Arthur a regular sword. Accolon broke the sword, but the Lady of the Lake intervened, Arthur snatched up Excalibur, and struck Accolon a mortal blow on the head. It was only after that that Arthur removed his helmet and recognized his friend (not exactly the most rational group of knights in the world). After that, Morgan stole the magic scabbard to Excalibur, but Arthur never recovered that.

What did king arthur do to save Britain?

There is some doubt that King Arthur ever existed. But, according to the legend, he gathered together knights who were virtuous, chivalrous and knightly in their behaviour, especially towards damsons in distress.


Who became king after King Arthur died?

There are many legends, all differing from each other. Though there is no real proof King Arthur ever even lived, some believe Sir Lancelot or one of the other knights of The Round Table took over. Other legends, and there is some historical proof, that the Anglo-Saxons took over Britain. However, there is no proof whether or not there was any King between the legendary, King Arthur, and the Saxons.


Is King Arthur real?

Scientists are doing tests and they have confirmed that King Arthur may have existed even though there is no such thing as Camelot.It is still debated whether or not he was real. It is for certain that most, (If not all) of English literature that describes him is false. But there may have been a real King Arthur. And we know that his supposed sucessor, Constantine the Third, was real. Meaning we know that Constantine was a king of Britain, but whether or not he followed Arthur is unknown.not ever person thinks so ,but he might be.people say he is coming to life and is trying to stop moredred.


Will the reincarnation of King Arthur ever happen?

Yes. According to scientific discovery, for Arthur to have his reincarnation, it must have been from 1500 to 200 years since he is dead. On the same night of his reincarnation there must be a meteor shower and an eclipse. So exactly from January 3rd and June 4th 2012 King Arthur will allegedly have his reincarnation.


Was Morgana in the Arthurian legends?

Yes, Fata Morgana is the Italian name of Morgan le Fey. She was Arthur's half fairy sister (fey translates as fairy). In the early versions of the Arthurian Legends she isn't much more than Arthur's half sister but as time goes on she's portrayed as a student of Merlin's hell bent on ruining people's lives. As in she alternately tries to seduce Lancelot and get him to expose his liason with Guineviere. She thwarts the Kights in many stories for apparently no reason what-so-ever. Um, once she stole Excalibur and planned to have one of her lovers kill Arthur with it but when the plan falls through she throws the scabbard into the Lake. Sometimes she's depicted as the mother of Mordred (killed Arthur-see La Morte d'Arthur) but traditionally that's Morgause's kid. So yeah-basically she's just the stereotypical villianess: seductive, crazy, sorceress that has it out for Arthur.

Does excalibur exist?

No i believe that it didn't and if it did it wouldn't be a magical sword it would be a ordinary sword that some king used if fact they don't even know if Camelot existed or king Arther and for all those people that believe that there was a magic sword well that's just sad isn't it


Why was king Arthur crowned king?

King Arthur was crowned king because the sword in the stone (not Excalibur. Excalibur was given to him by the Lady of the Lake but they are often confused) said "He who so pulleth this sword from this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England." and Arthur, serving as Sir Kai's squire at the time, forgot Kai's sword. he needed a new sword so he pulled the sword out of the stone, and was crowned king at that time. That is the legend. Most historians agree a man named Arthur existed but the original sources differ on precisely what role he had and indeed if he was ever a crowned king. The earliest sources suggest he was a great general who served a king, that king being Emrys Wledig (a.k.a. Ambrosius Aurelianus). As for the sword, it was often the custom to bury great men with their swords. Perhaps Arthur was retrieving his father's sword from his father's tomb.

What are facts about King Arthur?

King Arthur is not true. he is indeed a legend. The stories we know and love are fiction. there might be a person that the real king arthur is based uponor even a number of heros are based on him and his personality.But there was no king in the middle ages called King Arthur.. King arthur is son of King uther pendragon and lady Igraine. Morgan Le Fay was one of king Arthur's half sisters, he married Queen Guinevere, and in many stories he diesd in his last battle.If Arthur actually lived, it was probably in the 5th or 6th century.The literary character is a different creature. There were oral traditions about Arthur--stories circulating and being told by story-tellers around the fireside before people started writing them down. The first written mention of Arthur is in 6th century poem. The literature we're most familiar with now first began with Geoffrey of Monmouth and has been expanded upon ever since.Some facts: his sword was Excalibur or Caliburn, people mistake his half-sister Morgan as the mother of Mordred when Morgause was actually Mordred's mother, it is said he did not die and he is the once and future king.Arthur LIVES!

Did Sir Lancelot use Excalibur?

I don't recall him ever doing so. Excaliber was King Arther's sword although Queen Guenivre did steal it once for a time and as she was tight with lancelot he may have gotten to hold it.
