Neraus got it right.
Excalibur/Caliburn are the same sword in the legend, just a etymological mishap during translation of the legend.
Clarent was the name of the sword that Arthur pulled from the stone. It was nothing more than a ceremonial blade that denoted the rightful ruler of the land. "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is rightwise king born of England." It proved that Arthur was Uther's legitimate son and therefore the rightful King of Britain. Arthur would break this sword in combat against King Pellinore.
Excalibur/Caliburn is the famous sword that Arthur would receive from the Lady in the Lake in exchange for a boon to be named later. He would then go on to use this sword from this point on. Eventually going on to toss it back into the lake in defiance and in a moment of delusion. The sword would return to him in his time of greatest need and he would continue to wield it until the Battle of Camlann. On his deathbed, Arthur then entrusted the blade to Bedivere and ordered the knight to return the blade to the Lady in the Lake.

Don't be too hard on yourself. There are so many versions of Arthurian legends that it's hard to keep them all straight. Many of them differ by such insignificant details that they might as well not be any different at all.

to be honest that's what I've learned in school (that the sword is called Excalibur). It's the only thing I remembered from "Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" tale, and it is wrong LOL

I mean some legends have The Sword in the Stone and The Sword from the Lake as both being the same sword i.e Excalibur/Caliburn.
Others have it as The Sword in the Stone and The Sword from the Lake as being two different swords i.e Excalibur/Caliburn and then Clarent.

you can gloat (whatever that means), and yes, you should always be sure in life. Being confident is a good thing.

3 it is.
It would take two days by plane, probably a stop in Constantinople, and one to two thousand euros.
Apart from Japan this is the one I actually checked, the others were put there randomly.
