The Sword in the Stone

Enscription
"'Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England.'"Pulling the sword out of the stone became a myth as no one had been able to do it before Arthur. Whoever pulled the sword out of the stone was destined as the next King of England.

Mysterious Appearance
The Sword in the Stone appeared in a churchyard when the Archbishop of Canterbury called all lords and knights to come to London by Christmas. It appeared in the churchyard wedged into the stone along with the enscription and all knights and lords attempted to pull it out with no success.

Arthur Rises to the Throne
Arthur is the only person to have successfully pulled the sword from the stone, naming him the King of England.
