Why was king Arthur's round table so important?
In feudal England, most tables were made as rectangles, with the person at the head of the table being accorded the most power. Each person was seated a certain distance away from the head of the table, and the further away you were, the less power you had.King Arthur revolutionized this by having his most trusted knights sit with him at a round table, in effect declaring all of them as equals with the king.

What is the summary of The Day of Destiny by Sir Thomas Malory?
Mordred makes himself King of England and takes Guinevere as his wife. He then forces a battle with Sir Gawain, who is mortally wounded in the battle. Arthur meets Mordred again at the battle of Bareon Down, and the two men prepare for what will be their last battle. Arthur has a dream telling him that if he fights Mordred that day, he will die, but if he can stall the battle another month, Lancelot will be able to come and help him. When Arthur tries to draw a truce with Mordred and his army, a snake comes by and one of Mordred's men draws his sword to kill it. This action sets the two armies to war. By the end of the battle, Mordred is the only man standing from his army, and Arthur has himself, Sir Lucan, and Sir Bedivere. Against Lucan's advice, Arthur fights Mordred and kills him, but Arthur sustains his own death wound in the process. Arthur is dying and can't be moved safely, so he asks Sir Bedivere to throw Excalibur into the lake. At first, Bedivere merely hides the sword, because he believes it to be too precious to throw away, but he eventually obeys Arthur's orders and throws the sword into the water. Arthur asks Bedivere what he saw when he did so, and Bedivere reports that a hand caught the sword and brandished it three times. Arthur then commands Bedivere to take him to the water, where a barge is waiting. Arthur is borne on the barge to Avalon. Bedivere then takes to wandering the woods and eventually stumbles upon a hermit mourning at a grave. It is unclear to both Bedivere and the reader whether or not the grave is that of King Arthur, and whether or not Arthur still lives.
What personal characteristics motivates sir Bedivere to disobey king Arthur's order to throw the sword in the lake?
The personal characteristics might be greed or covetousness, or just thrift. Sir Bedevere defies Arthur's orders the first 2 times he tells him to throw it away as he thinks that it would be a waste to throw such a powerful, useful weapon away as in many versions of the tale it had much power, and in some versions they said that if you fought with it, you'd never lose. However on the third time Arthur commands him to do so, Sir Bedevere can see he's intent on having it thrown in the lake and so does it. Also, he can see that Arthur will not be fooled into believing Sir Bedevere did it when he did not.
How did king Arthur come king?
He pulled the sword out of the stone. He was already supposed to be King, but the sword was just a way so that he could be found. There's a whole story about how Arthur is King Uther's son and was taken away to be raised in secret.......blah, blah, blah. So, basically sword in the stone.

What is the story about King Arthur?
Arthur first appears in Welsh literature. In a surviving early Welsh poem, The Gododdin (ca. 594 AD), the poet Aneirin (ca. 535-600 AD) writes of one of his subjects that "he fed black ravens on the ramparts, although he was no Arthur." However, this poem (as it currently exists) is full of interpolations, and it is not possible to decide if this passage is an interpolation from a later period. The following poems attributed to Taliesin are possibly from a similarly early date: The Chair of the Sovereign, which refers to "Arthur the Blessed"; Preiddeu Annwn ("The Treasures of Annwn"), mentions "the valour of Arthur" and states "we went with Arthur in his splendid labours"; and the poem Journey to Deganwy, which contains the passage "as at the battle of Badon with Arthur, chief giver of feasts, with his tall blades red from the battle which all men remember."
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.
