What event allowed Arthur to become king in Camelot?
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.
Does any sword in the hand of King Arthur really become Excalibur?
not that i'm aware of, Avalon high took a few creative liberties with their movie, but Excalibur was thrown back to the lady in the lake's hands before Arthur passed away, meaning an actual true sword under safe keeping and not just a symbol.

Merlin took excalibur back to the place it was forged, the place where lady guenivere and lancelot betrayed arthur. but, it has only been discovered recently, for Merlin even forgot the secret. but, that's where it lies, but it can only be drawn by one with courage and love in their heart.
How did King Arthur become king at his age of 15?
I suppose it's really because things were very different then. In Ancient Egypt people could become pharoahs at as young as nine. So I guess, really, if we're considering the story complete and utter fact, it was just because things were just so different.

Why Merlin was significant?
Merlin was an adviser to King Arthur. There is a very famous story of a poor boy named Arthur, who Merlin took in. He taught him well and when the time came to choose a king, the country decided whoever could pull the sword out of the stone would be king. No one could do it, but Arthur even though he was just a boy.
Why did King Arthur mark the history?
King Arthur is a character from a legend called the Sword in the Stone. The legend goes something like this: The King asked Merlin to go take his son someplace safe, because there was some sort of curse on the family, and he thought he was going to die soon. He didn't want his son, currently an infant, to be harmed, so Merlin took him to a poor country side family, and put a sword in a stone with words carved into the sides. I can't remember the exact words, but it proclaimed that whoever draws the sword from the stone was to be the new king. There was a ceremony on New Year's Eve every year where they would hold a jousting contest. If you won the jousting contest, then you would try to pull the sword from the stone. For many years, they found nothing, and Arthur grew up with a family that disliked him, and was frequently harsh on him. One year, Arthur's older brother was entering the competition, and stayed at a nearby inn. When they got there, the brother had forgotten his sword, so they had Arthur go fetch it. Arthur ran to the inn, which he found locked because of the ceremony-the innkeeper went to the ceremony like everyone else-and panicked. Arthur saw another sword protruding from a stone. He easily pulled the sword out of the stone, and ran back to give it to his brother. His family questioned where he got it, and Arthur told them about the locked inn and the sword in the stone, and the entire village ran back to the stone, where they replaced the sword, and had the older brother try, to no prevail. Arthur tried again, and is slid out of the stone easier than one would think a sword coming out of a stone would be. Merlin proclaimed him king, and everyone lived happily ever after. So really, King Arthur didn't mark history, because he was a character from a legend, but if he were real, he would've been marked for a fair king and being able to pull the sword out of the stone.
