About

The Lady of the Lake is one of the most mysterious figures in Arthurian legend—a powerful enchantress who dwells in a magical realm beneath the waters of a sacred lake. She is the keeper of Excalibur, the legendary sword of kings.

She raised Lancelot from infancy in her underwater kingdom, teaching him the arts of knighthood and magic. When Arthur broke his first sword, it was she who gave him Excalibur, rising from the waters with the blade held aloft.

The Lady represents the ancient feminine power of water and magic, the otherworldly force that grants sovereignty to rightful kings. She exists between worlds, neither fully of the mortal realm nor entirely of the fairy world.

Famous Story

When Arthur needed a sword worthy of a king, Merlin brought him to the sacred lake. A hand clothed in white samite rose from the waters, holding Excalibur aloft. The Lady of the Lake appeared and gave Arthur the sword that would make him legend.
