In Arthurian legend, many knights and noblemen attempted to pull Excalibur from the stone, but only King Arthur succeeded. The exact number of those who tried is not definitively stated in the tales, but it is implied that numerous challengers sought to claim the sword, believing it would prove their worthiness to be king. Ultimately, Arthur's success in drawing the sword marked him as the rightful ruler of England.

How did he get Excalibur?
The Lady of the Lake gave it to him, when she reached up out of the lake by Avalon and gave it to him. Excalibur was not, in fact, the Sword in the Stone. Many people believe it is but, being realistic, Excalibur was a magic sword forged from the other world, and by Nimueh, the Lady of the Lake herself. She also gave him a scabbard that would prevent any blood loss that may come upon him whilst in battle. So, really they are two different swords, but people get them mixed up.
