What do you mean by “divine weapons?”

But no, excalibur isn’t a “divine weapon.” Excalibur is a magical sword given to King Arthur by one of the fairies of the lake. Though, Excalibur is usually said to be an unbreakable sword that can cut through anything, and emit light.

However, the divine weapon of King Arthur was the sword in the stone (and according to one of the welsh triads, so were Rhongomyniad and Carnwennan, but the authors were probably trying to come up with a reason to why they were king Arthur’s most precious possessions), not Excalibur unless it’s conflated with the sword in the stone.

In the original sword in the stone tale, and in various of it’s adaptations, the sword in the stone was a miracle from god to choose the perfected Christian king.
