She told him to return it to her when he no longer needed it. Years later, Arthur and his incestuous son Modred fatlly wounded each other. Bedivere threw Excalibur into the Lake of Nyneve as Arthur ordered after disobeying twice. Three sorceresses came to take Arthur to Avalon to try to heal his wound. Some accounts say Excalibur was also the Sword in the Stone that only the rightful King of Britain could withdraw. Arthur did it when he was a teenager. Arthur broke his word in a duel with Pellinore, so he was given Excalibur to replace it. Thus we see that both swords could not be Excalibur.
