This is one of the seven caches based on King Arthur's story.
Arthur was fostered out to a family which protected him and taught him to be an honest, hardworking young man. One day, the family was traveling to a festival where their son, Kay, was to compete in a tournament. Arthur was suppose to act as Kay's squire, which meant he was to take care of Kay's equipment, including his sword.
After a day of travel, Arthur noticed that Kay's sword was missing. While looking for the sword, Arthur noticed a sword sticking out of the large boulder, or stone. Arthur, not seeing anyone who might own the sword, walked up and pulled on the sword. It easily slipped out of the stone.
He brought the sword to Kay, who saw an inscription on it. The inscription said," whoso pulleth out this sword from this stone is the rightwise born king of all England." Kay told Arthur to show him where he got the sword. When they arrived at the stone, several other knights were there. Arthur replace the sword. The other knights, not believing what had happened, tried to pull the sword out again. None succeeded. Arthur again came up and easily pulled the sword froeir knees to show respect to the new king, Arthur.
Good Luck on your Quest.
