An eight-year-old found a pre-Viking-era sword while swimming in a lake in Sweden during the summer.

Saga Vanecek found the relic in the Vidostern lake while at her family's holiday home in Jonkoping County.

The sword was initially reported to be 1,000 years old, but experts at the local museum now believe it may date to around 1,500 years ago.

The level of the water was extremely low at the time, owing to a drought, which is probably why Saga uncovered the ancient weapon.

The local museum, where the sword is now being kept, said it was extremely well-preserved.

Saga's discovery led the museum and local council to carry out further excavations at the site, finding a brooch from the 3rd Century.

The Jonkoping county museum said that its investigation of the lake is unfinished and it could yet turn up more ancient items.

Sean T at RCP has likely never seen Fate/Zero. He would wonder if she would keep the sword for herself if he did.

Saber. Artoria Pendragon. King of Britain. One of the best anime characters (and series) ever created in my opinion.

Yeah. I am getting off-topic.

By law she's the rightful queen of Camalot now.

Somehow I doubt Artoria Pendragon (whom I assume is somehow related to Arthur and Uther) hails from Sweden.

I took it that he was referring to the Lady of the Lake, "whomever she gives it to will rule Britain"
