The Sword in The Stone: The border between fantasy and reality
Abstract
The article examines the topic of stuck swords divided into three groups - legendary, historical artefacts and archaeological research. The legendary and historical swords are the Sword in the Stone of King Arthur, the Gram sword of Sigurd, the Durendal of Roland, the sword of Galgano Guidotti, and the swords found during archaeological excavations from Salme and Köping. The article attempts to examine their history and symbolic significance. A comparison is made in their storylines, paying attention to the similarities on the one hand and the points of contact of someone in historical terms.
