Arthur bore the sword Caledfwlch (Excalibur) into battle, its blade capable of cleaving any foe. In Welsh tradition it is named among his possessions in Culhwch ac Olwen alongside his ship Prydwen and his spear Rhongomyniad.
Morgan le Fay stole Excalibur's scabbard — the enchantment that kept Arthur from bleeding — and hurled it into a lake, stripping the king of his invulnerability and sealing his fate at the Battle of Camlann.
