He was a prince, the King's son. He pulled the sword from the stone, which recognized him as King.
According to T. H. White's "The Once and Future King", Arthur was destined to become Kay's squire. Sir Ector, Sir Kay, and Wart (Arthur) are attending a jousting tournament in England and Kay's match is approaching. Wart realizes that he forgot Kay's sword in the inn and so he rushes to retrieve it. The door is locked, in a churchyard Wart spots a sword lodged in a stone. With one attempt he pulls the sword from the stone and returns to Kay and Ector. Kay gets angry at Wart for forgetting his sword and questions the identity of this new one. Ector spots words etched on it that say, "Who so Pulleth Out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of England". With this everybody questions how such a young boy could obtain such a coveted treasure. The largest men faltered at such a task, so they wanted him to repeat it. The sword was put back in the stone, and several men, including Kay attempted to pull it. Once again, however, Arthur recovers the sword from the rock. Since he is the new king, he automatically becomes a knight.
Because when Arthur was 12 years old he pulled the sword from the stone. It's because on the rock which the sword was stuck in it said the rightful king of England is the only person that can remove the sword.
He was able to pull the sword (Excalibur) from the stone, so he was made king.

Arthur, who became King Arthur
No. The closest you can get to Camelot and King Arthur being real would be that King Arthur was actually a Roman who grew up in Britain and so later became King of "Camelot" Which probably didn't exist. :)
Guinevere was just Lady Morgana's maid when Uther was at the throne. Guinevere soon became close to Prince Arthur and when Arthur became King he choose Guinevere to be his Queen.
He did not have to defeat anyone . . . legend has it that whoever could pull this sword out of the stone would become king of England . . . Merlin had led Arthur to the sword in the stone and Arthur pulled it out and became a great king. This is a fascinating fable.
King Arthur is a legendary king and did not exist.

Fifth century - Before King Arthur | became king
It is really not known if King Arthur was a Christian. The Catholic Church did have missionaries that were in Great Britain, so it is possible that he became one.
King Arthur did not become a knight. He was working for a knight and planning to become one, but he became king first. There was a contest once that Merlin held. Uther Pendragon was king but died. They had to decide who would be king of England so they put a magical sword in a stone. Whoever pulled it out was king of England and King Arthur did.
Guinevere was just Lady Morgana's maid when Uther was at the throne. Guinevere soon became close to Prince Arthur and when Arthur became King he choose Guinevere to be his Queen.
