What had happened was that Merlin saw that King Arthur had a magic sword, but broke in battle. So, he led King Arthur to a magical lake. At the lake, A mysterious hand thrust its above the surface of the water, clenching the sword that we know today as Excalibur.
Yes and no. Merlin organizes the famous contest to choose a king by having the knights try to pull the sword in the stone. In some versions of the story that sword is Excalibur. In other versions, most especially Mallory's "Morte D'Arthur", Arthur breaks that sword in battle and receives Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake.
because he,s stupid
yes. It has been said that freya will return in series 3 to help Merlin and arthur get the sword excalibur back and still have that strong emotional relationship with Merlin.
There are variations of the legend: it was said to be the sword in the stone that Arthur withdrew; that it was given to Arthur by Merlin; and that it was given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake.
The scabbard is only mentioned in a work sometimes known as the Post-Vulgate Merlin.It also of course appears in later works that use the Post-Vulgate Merlin such as El Baladro del sabio Merlin and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur.None of these provide a name for the scabbard.
There are two sword stories commonly associated with King Arthur.The first is the Sword in the Stone where Merlin sets the sword of Uther Pendragon into a block of stone by magic and only the rightful King has the power to pull it out. Many men try, but only the boy Arthur succeeds, proving himself to be the true King.The second is the story of the sword Excalibur which is given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake. In this story Arthur encounters a spirit creature who tests him for honesty humility and other virtues, and when he passed most (he fails the test for humility) of the tests she give him the magic sword Excalibur which is said to be unbreakable. Excalibur's scabbard held the real power though, the scabbard prevented the holder from bleeding and in thus making him invincible.In some versions of King Arthur's story the sword in the stone and Excalibur are the same sword; but in most stories they are different swords.In these versions the sword in the stone is not Excalibur. The sword from the stone is destroyed in battle, and it is then that Arthur, at the advice of Merlin, seeks out the Lady of the Lake to gain Excalibur.

yes. It has been said that freya will return in series 3 to help Merlin and arthur get the sword excalibur back and still have that strong emotional relationship with Merlin.
The sword in the stone and Excalibur are 2 different things. Merlin put the sword in the stone in the stone( which by pulling it out made Arthur King Arthur), and Excalibur was the sword that came later after the sword in the stone broke. Excalibur came from the Lady in the Lake.
King Arthur removed the sword called Excalibur from the stone. It was a legendary sword that only the true king of England was able to extract from the stone.
