Sure, I've actually got one, English FlagBro.
I know the 'secret origins of the sword of Albion, Excalibur'.
Its old name was a french corruption of 'Caer Bolg' or Hard edge.
You know the movie '300'? Well that battle at the pass in Thermopolie wasn't the only one there that was epic and used that pass, and the paladin Roland, servant of Charlemagne the great did battle there, to keep it open for pilgrims for the holyland.
The battle was epic, and the Catholics ultimately lost.
The sword, lest it fall into enemy hands would be smashed on a stone, yet three times the stone was struck, and it broke the stone, and the wielder realized its owner would break before the sword did, and it was hidden away.
This is the origin of the 'sword in the stone'.
