Sigmund having to pull the Sword out of the tree.

Sigmund was a figure in Norse mythology, the son of Völsung, husband of Hjördís, and father of Sigurd.

At one point, he was in possession of one of the Swords of Eden. A being claiming to be the norse god Odin plunged the sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that it would be a gift tho whoever could pull it free. Many tried, but only Sigmund managed to pull it free and claim it as his own. 

 The sword was named Gram and Sigmund passed it on to his son Sigurd who would use it to slay the dragon Fafnir.
