Mandela Effect Example: King Arthur pulling Excalibur out of the stone

Many people think Arthur pulled Excalibur out of the stone when in fact this is incorrect. The sword he pulled out of a stone was to symbolize that he was the rightful ruler of England while Excalibur was given to him by the Lady of the Lake to defeat Mordred and defend Camelot.

Strange women, lying about in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a form of government.
We're living in a dictatorship.

You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Disney movie The Sword in the Stone might make people think this. Good movie too, but it's not an example of the Mandela Effect. Might actually be and example showing why the Mandela Effect is not real.

If I went around sayin’ I was emperor because some moistened old tart threw a sword at me, they’d put me away! Strange women, lyin’ in ponds, distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government.
ETA: good job, OT. You’re all over this one.

The 1981 movie Excalibur are some of my earliest memories of T&A.

If he died in jail... no state would've held a massive televised funeral for him. It's not like half the population is below average intelligence or below average memory.

In Arthurian romance, a number of explanations are given for Arthur's possession of Excalibur. In Robert de Boron's Merlin, the first tale to mention the "sword in the stone" motif, Arthur obtained the British throne by pulling a sword from an anvil sitting atop a stone that appeared in a churchyard on Christmas Eve. In this account, as foretold by Merlin, the act could not be performed except by "the true king," meaning the divinely appointed king or true heir of Uther Pendragon. As Malory writes: "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born."The identity of this sword as Excalibur is made explicit in the later Prose Merlin, part of the Lancelot-Grail cycle (the Vulgate Cycle).
However, in the most famous English-language version of the Arthurian tales, Malory's 15th-century Le Morte d'Arthur, early in his reign Arthur breaks the Sword from the Stone while in combat against King Pellinore, and is given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake in exchange for a later boon.
Weird. You're using one version of an old arse, fictional story that is told different ways and acting like only one is correct.
