The Sword in the Stone. After Arthur's father died (Uther Pendgraon), it was naturally assumed that Arthur would take the throne. But there was uproar from the kingdom as other knights felt that they were far worthier to be king than Arthur.

So, Merlin took Uther's sword (not Excalibur), and magically fixed it inside a stone and inscribed on the stone that whoever is able to pull the sword out of the stone, then they would be the rightful king of Camelot and assume the position. Plenty of men tried their luck, but none of them managed to succeed.

Arthur pulling the sword out of the stone was actually a big coincidence. He was to help someone or enter himself, in a fighting tournament and he (or the other person) had forgotten their sword. (I think the person was Arthur's brother. I don't know. A little hazy.) Arthur spotted the sword in the stone and thought that was weird but didn't think much of it. He pulled it out with no effort and ran back to the tournament. And that is how Arthur became the king of Camelot.
