Besides that Excalibur was the top of the line sword for his day and given him by the Lady of the lake herself, it's scabbard was way more valuable. As long as Arthur wore Excalibur's scabbard while he fought, he lost no blood from his wounds.

Did king arthur fight in a war?

King Arthur is a legendary figure in British folklore, and while many tales depict him as a warrior leading his knights into battle, historical evidence of his existence and military exploits is limited. The stories suggest he fought against Saxon invaders in the early medieval period, but these accounts are largely mythological and romanticized. Thus, while Arthur is often portrayed as a warrior king in literature, his actual involvement in any specific war remains uncertain and largely speculative.


The battle between arthur's and morded's armies starts when a soldier draws his sword to kill an adder?

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Before the battle King Arthur and Mordred decide to settle for a truce. But, before they met, each ordered their armies that if any soldier from the opposite camp draws his sword then they should not hesitate to start the battle. Just as everything was going well, an adder slithers amidst the soldiers (I think Mordred's soldiers) and someone draws his sword to kill it. The sword glimmers under the sun and the battle begins.


Describe the battle between arthur's and Mordred's armies?

Mordred betrays the king, taking his castles, his crown and his wife. Arthur does battle with him just as in the other stories. Mordred is proud and insolent in his new-found power, which enrages Gawain and Arthur. Gawain, who throughout the ages is hot-tempered and fierce both with words and with weapons, curses and pursues Mordred ruthlessly. The author recounts much of Gawain's heroic fight with Mordred, but with Mordred's sly stroke of a knife, the brave Gawain meets his end.
