  1. That's a much more recent concept. Originally, the sword in the stone didn't have a name at all, except in versions of the story where it's conflated with Excalibur and the part about the Lady in the Lake giving Arthur the sword gets omitted. (Though some versions also have him pull Excalibur from the stone, lose it at some point along the way, then the Lady in the Lake gives it back to him.)

  2. I automatically think of Mordred as a girl thanks to Fate. For whatever reason, I still have zero trouble thinking of Arthur as a man, though.

  3. So which came first? The idea that Morgan and Morgause were sisters, or the idea of just combining two women with almost the same name into a single character?

  4. Thanks to the Fate franchise, I have a really hard time imagining Mordred as not a girl. Oddly enough, I still have zero difficulty imagining Arthur as a man.
