As the legend goes, the dying King Arthur threw his magical sword Excalibur, into a lake where a hand emerged and took it below.
On vacation with his family, Paul Jones had just related this story before he and his children took a dip in Dozmary Pool, Cornwall—the very waters where the “lady of the lake” was said to have received Arthur’s sword.
Paul’s seven-year-old daughter Matilda, was standing waist deep in the lake when she said she could see the sword. Her dad told her not to be silly but then looked down to see the four-foot-long sword lying on the lake bed.
The sword Excalibur was said to be enchanted and could only belong to the rightful ruler of Britain. So perhaps Matilda should now be heir to the throne and the rightful Queen?
The Jones family decided that it was probably just an old film prop.
