Excalibur was not pulled from a stone

From Mr S. J. Jones, MRPharmS

I read with interest Onlooker's comments on the sword Excalibur (PJ, 16 November, p726). Although one could debate at length the historical basis for the Arthurian myth, and here I speak from experience, there is no basis for linking the sword pulled from the stone with Excalibur itself. The two weapons are distinct, both in the legends and in the nature of their potential origins in earlier mythology.
