==History==<br />
===Greek Mythology===<br />
The first usage of the Sword by someone other than one of Those Who Came Before was by [[Perseus]], who in Greek myth was a "[[Wikipedia:Demigod|demigod]]" (the child of a god and a mortal), who used it to slay the [[wikipedia:Gorgon|Gorgon]] [[wikipedia:Medusa|Medusa]].<br />
<br />
===5th and 6th Centuries===<br />
The Sword came into possession of [[Attila the Hun]] during the 5<sup>th</sup> century, after a shepherd dug it up and took it to Attila. With the sword, he ravaged Eurasia during his reign. It was during this time that the Sword became known as the Sword of Mars or the Sword of Attila.<br />
<br />
In the late 5<sup>th</sup>, early 6<sup>th</sup> century, [[Arthur]] pulled the Sword, then called Excalibur, out of a stone (alternatively, it is also said that it was a gift from the Lady of the Lake) and used it to become King of England.<br />
<br />
Possibly in the late 6<sup>th</sup> century, Odin, disguised as a beggar, plunged the Sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, claiming that the one who was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only [[Sigmund]] was able to pull it free.<br />
<br />
===15th Century===<br />
The female warrior [[Joan of Arc]] came into the Sword's possession during the [[wikipedia:Hundred Years' War|Hundred Years' War]], which led to many victories for the [[France|French]] forces over the English and their allies. She was eventually captured by Burgundian soldiers and handed over to the English, who were [[Templars]] in disguise. They then burned her at the stake for committing heresy. The Sword then came into possession of the Templars.<br />
