- Presented “Caliburn(us)” to his ally, Tancred of Lecce (King of Sicily)
- Sword was ‘discovered’ during the exhumation of Arthur’s body at Glastonbury in AD 1190
- Supposedly in AD 1215, “Excalibur” was in the Royal Regalia lost by King John
- When his treasure wagon overturned at The Wash
- Whilst he was attempting to avoid the barons
- During the early Thirteenth Century AD,
- (Ex)calibur(n) had been passed down to Tancred’s successors
- Through William III of Sicily
- To Constance, Queen of Sicily and Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor
- Until it reached Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor
- In AD 1229,
- Frederick II presented (Ex)calibur(n)
- To Πέτρος Κορώνηωυ (Pétros Korónioy: Peter of Corone)
- By AD 1260 (most likely between AD 1248 and AD 1254),
- Peter had broken the sword (into at least two, if not three, pieces)
- In battle with Muhammad Yawar
- He had killed Peter at the very same time (with a piece of the swords broken blade)
- Near what is now the Jordanian-Syrian border (on the Syrian side)
- Possibly between AD 1254 and AD 1260
- Presumedly, the body of Peter was taken to the Venetian castle that sits on a hill above the town of Corone (Koroni: Κορώνη) to be interred, along with a piece of (Ex)calibur(n)
- Supposedly, the remaining piece of (Ex)calibur(n) was taken to the Roman Catholic church of Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary the Greater) on Largo Santa Maria Maggiore in the town of Nicosia, in Enna province, Sicily
- Afterward (between AD 1260 and AD 1277),
- Yawar kept the piece of the swords blade (that he used to kill Peter) as a trophy
- He returned home to Kafashta (possibly Nawa), Syria
- Muhammad Yawar then gave the partial blade to the imam of the town (possibly Imam Nawawi)
- It is assumed that the imam placed the piece of that sword within the towns mosque
