The round table

The Round Table is King Arthur's famed table in the Arthurian legend, around which he and his Knights congregate. As its name suggests, it has no head, it means that everyone who sits there has the same status. The table was first described in 1155 by Wace. The symbolism of the Round Table developed over time; it had come to represent the system of behaviour followed by knights in the medieval period of history, that put a high value on honour, kindness, and courage associated with Arthur's court, the Knights of the Round Table.
