Girl pulls sword from Dozmary Pool - Pendragon returns in our hour of need?

[Tonguez]

Her Majesty Matilda, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.​

Matilda Jones, aged seven, from Norton, Doncaster, found the sword when she was paddling in Dozmary Pool, in Cornwall with her dad Paul.

Paul had told Matilda about the legend of King Arthur on their journey to the lake at Dozmary. Folklore has it that Dozmary Pool is where Excalibur was thrown by Sir Bedivere after the Battle of Camlann and Arthur’s death.

Paul said: "It was a blistering hot day and Matilda asked if we could go for a paddle. She was only waist deep when she said she could see a sword. "I told her not to be silly and it was probably a bit of fencing, but when I looked down I realised it was a sword. It was just there laying flat on the bottom of the lake."

So should Matilda be declared the new Lady of the Lake, is Arthur to return? and does this bode well for Fair Englands shore?

I should think that assuming the sword is legitimate, that she is at least a Knight of the Round Table or something.

I don't think she has to be the Lady of the Lake, she should get a far more kick-butt role than sword holder person.

If that's Excalibur, then I'm a human being with certain definable characteristics.*

It’s a movie prop.

Well, there's your proof, then...



If Camelot is only a model, then SURELY Excalibur is just a prop!

From what I saw.... for a +5 Holy Avenger level sword it was very rusty and old....

Still..... kinda neat to think about IF such a sword existed and was found today.......

I'm from the US, and it's looking better and better.

I'm from the US too, and that has got to beat Strange men lying in Congress...

You know you are the right person if you grasp it by the hilt and get the mental images of a flashback-filled summary of English history, from the end of the Ice Age to today.
