The stories around king Arthur and Camelot are pure fantasy. The realistic perspective of the character of this stories is much older and existed in Aachen under Charlesmagne. Charlesmagne for example had been attacked with some of his knights from robbers in the Pyrenees. The knights wan. Charlesmagne was an expert in hunting with the falcon. He was not able to read and to write - but he spoke fluently Latin and took care for a more beautiful typeface of written letters. He took care for fire protection regulations in cities. He took care to educate knights in respect for ladies and so on and so on. And one of the most modern "magi" lived in Aachen. His Merlin there was called Alkuin. Alkuin had been indeed an Anglo-Saxon and was a well educated monk with a lot of knowledge about the ancient Greek and Roman cultures. So if you like to study literature - study "Camelot"; if you like to to study reality - study "Aachen".

Excalibur could by the way indeed also be a hint to a real sword name if it comes from the celtic word Caledvwlch. A "hardnotch" could be a sword which easily produces notches. This fits to typical other sword names like for example "Gram", a sword which produces grief. But the word "Excalibur" on its own shows a kind of latinised character for literature of such an expression.
