The Twin Excaliburs are twin rapier weapons that can be obtained for Machina in Final Fantasy Type-0.
In Arthurian tales, Excalibur is the legendary sword of King Arthur, with its name ultimately deriving from the Welsh Caledfwlch, where caled means ‘hard’ and bwlch is ‘cleft’. It appears in many interpretations of the stories of King Arthur, but it is first mentioned in Welsh mythology, including the earliest surviving Welsh tale, Culhwch and Olwen (Culhwch ac Olwen).
There is an obtainable accessory in the game called Amulet of Mwynn. “Mwynn” derives from the Welsh word mwyn, meaning “kind, gentle”.
