As in Arthurian legend, ancient Hungarian legend also speaks of a sword holding special power and will make a great leader out of it’s owner.

Legend says Attila the Hun had
such a sword, found in a field as a boy where it was said to become fiery and leap from the ground. 

This was called the Sword of God and it has been disovered that in these times swords were stuck into the ground during lightning storms in hope of the lightning striking them (perhaps explaining the myth). Those hit took on a special quality, a form of ancient
galvinised steel!
