When they got their there was a great stone with a sword in the middle. The stone had an inscription on it that read "Whoso pulleth out this sword is by right of birth King of England". All the men around tried to pull the sword out of the stone but none could. They called the Archbishop said that none of these men are the rightful heir, and he didn't know where to find the person either. Two knights were chosen to stand guard over the stone. One of Arthur's acquaintances had left his sword at home so he went back to get it. Arthur could not get in to retrieve the sword so he rode away in anger towards the sword in the rock. Vowing that this person shall not go without a sword. He rode to the stone and pulled the stone out, he then gave it to Sir Kay. Sir Kay knew that this was not his sword. Arthur was questioned and it was reveled to everyone that he had pulled it out.
