History
Greek Mythology
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 "demigod" (the child of a god and a mortal), who used it to slay the Gorgon Medusa.
5th and 6th Centuries
The Sword came into possession of Attila the Hun during the 5th 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.
In the late 5th, early 6th 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.
Possibly in the late 6th 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.
15th Century
The female warrior Joan of Arc came into the Sword's possession during the Hundred Years' War, which led to many victories for the 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.
