Arthur received the sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, a mystical figure in Arthurian legend. In some versions of the tale, he first pulls the sword from a stone, proving his right to the throne, but Excalibur, which symbolizes his rightful sovereignty and power, is given to him later by the Lady. This moment emphasizes the magical and divine right of kings in Arthur's story.
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.
Bedivere's true reason for not throwing Excalibur into the lake lies in his deep respect for King Arthur and the symbolic significance of the sword. He understands that Excalibur represents Arthur's rightful sovereignty and the ideals of chivalry. By preserving the sword, Bedivere honors Arthur's legacy and ensures that the magic and meaning of Excalibur endure even after the king's death. His actions reflect loyalty, reverence, and the hope that the ideals of the Round Table will one day be revived.
Sir Lancelot was a knight in the forces of the mythical King Arthur. He had two main weapons, the sword and the lance.
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.
