Did you know that in original arthurian legend, there were actually two sacred swords that are often both regarded as Excalibur?

Some stories say that Arthur drawn the sword from a stone while another says Merlin personally gave him the sword.

Excalibur is the "Sword of War" as King Arthur took it with him as a weapon for battle. The Clarent, is actually another sword that was considered just as sacred that it is often confused to simply be another name for Excalibur. Really it was the "Sword of Peace" and was used in ceromonies, such as knighting and special occasions. Mordred, the "villain" of the Arthurian legends, used Excalubur's twin to deal the fatal blow to Arthur.

Kinda pity in S&tBK the Clarent was just some rusty common sword to be discarded for Caliburn but chances are Sonic Team were not extensive to there british legends to really know Clarent.
