Why did Arthur pull the sword out of the stone?

Answer 1

According to Le Morte dâ??Arthur, Arthurâ??s sword appeared in the church courtyard when there was a need for a new king. The stone had an inscription that said whoever pulled out the sword was the rightful king. Upon Arthur's successful removal of the sword, he became king.

Answer 2

Because he wanted to know if he could...no one gets anywhere without trying first.

that is not why.. he was on his way to get his brothers sword which he left at home then he came to this sword which was in the stone and he tought it was his brother's so he pulled it out and everyone was amazed.

This is not why either! Yes, Arthur was serving as his foster brother Kay's squire. And they were in London for the big tournament and a chance to have a go at the sword in the stone. Only they get to the tournament and realize Kay's sword got left behind. So Arthur/Wart, as the squire, has to go back to their lodgings to get the sword. Only when Arthur gets to the inn, its all locked up and he can't get to Kay's sword. So, he's desperate to help his brother and remembers the monumet of the sword in a stone. All the knights that were supposed to be guarding it have gone off to watch the tournament. Arthur is alone and thinks--I'll just borrow this one since no one is using it. And when he presents it to Kay? Well Kay at first tries to say he pulled it and should therefore be king. But Ector questions his son and we learn the truth--it was Arthur.
Because he was his brother's squire and thus, responsible for his weapon. But someone stole Kay's sword from their tent, so he looked for a new one. He had no idea about the legend, saw the sword in the stone and pulled it out easily. It should be noted that the sword in the stone was NOT Excalibur.
