It was part of the gossip the townspeople of Bernia were exchanging in the Boar's Hat during Meliodas and Elizabeth's visit there after Gil stuck his sword in the ground, IIRC. It was shown vaguelly and briefly as a flashback and the man recounting mentioned "a boy"(Arthur) had earned his crown that way "in the kingdom to the south" a few weeks before. Roughly around the time there was the coup in Lyonesse and Elizabeth set out to search for the Sins.

So, Arthur had pulled the sword before becoming king of Camelot, but he placed it back in a stone inside the castle since he hadn't awakened his magic yet and couldn't master it.
