Arthur removes the sword from the stone because he is the rightful king of England and the sword can only be pulled out by the true king. It is a symbolic act that proves Arthur's lineage and destiny to rule.
Caladfwlch, NOT Excalibur. The Sword in the Stone is the one that Merlin enchanted so that he could find the true King. Excalibur is from the Lady of the Lake.
Arthur's brother in "The Sword in the Stone" is Kay. He is also known as Sir Kay, a knight in King Arthur's court.
The sword in the stone and Excalibur are 2 different things. Merlin put the sword in the stone in the stone( which by pulling it out made Arthur King Arthur), and Excalibur was the sword that came later after the sword in the stone broke. Excalibur came from the Lady in the Lake.
The sword, as far as I know, had no name. Excalibur is a totally different sword. Arthur got Excalibur soon after breaking the sword in the stone in battle.
