It means obtaining that which is due to him by right of his birth.

A birthright is a right bestowed upon someone simply by them being born a specific person. For example, the son of a king is born as a prince. It is his birthright to be a prince simply because he was born the son of a king. Taking this example a little further, the first born son of a king will likely become king himself one day (as traditionally this honour passes to the first born male). When he becomes king he could describe this as "coming into his birthright".
