I think it represents there being no where to rest and an overturn of hierarchy, but it is for you to interpret how you want.
The island of Avalon, and Arthur's scabbard are considered supernatural. Arthur's scabbard for excalibur is supernatural because as long as he wears it, he cannot die of his wounds. The island of Avalon is supernatural because it is a hidden land that humans generally can not go to. The catching of King Arthurs sword.

Sir Mordred stabs Arthur in the head during their battle in "Le Morte D' Arthur". The wound is fatal, and Arthur presumably passes away a short while later.
the hermit who buries King arthur was once the Bishop of Canterbury
an Adder (snake) bit one of Arthurs men, when he took out his sword and killed the snake he men of Mordreds army thought he mean to fight. :)
Malory foreshadows Arthur's death in "Le Morte d'Arthur" with the title of the story. The title is French for "The Death of Arthur."

"Connecticult Yankee" is the frame story for Le Morte d'Arthur (the death of Arthur") published in 1485. Which in turn is Sir Thomas Malory's frame story of French and English Arthurian romances.
Which battle? There are dozens of battles in the Morte d'Arthur.

That means "the death of Arthur".
In "Morte d'Arthur," the black hoods worn by Lancelot and his knights symbolize mourning and penance for their sins. They also signify a desire for anonymity and repentance for their past actions, particularly in the context of the tragic events unfolding in Camelot.
Throw Excalibur back to the lady of the lake.
The disappearance of Excalibur into the lake in "Morte d'Arthur'' represents the theme of chivalry and the passing of an era. It symbolizes the end of King Arthur's reign and the return of the sword to the Lady of the Lake, signifying the close connection between Arthur and the mystical forces that guided his kingdom.
King Arthur (Pendragon) was referred to as the "King of the Britons". There is debate as to whether Arthur was a real or fictitious person, or perhaps even based on the characteristics and deeds of several people, but he is certainly a character from British legend, if not British history. There is also speculation that the book that tells Arthurs' story, Le Morte D'Arthur written by Sir Thomas Malory in 1485, may have been plagiarised from a much earlier French work.
