Round Table
Story
After Arthur had been a king for a few years, the nobles urged him to get married. Arthur decided to marry the daughter of King Leodegrance name Guinevere.
So the plans were made, and one day Guinevere rode into Arthur's home...the Camelot! Along with her she brought, as a wedding gift from her father, a great round table. Merlin had made the Round Table for King's Uther's knights. The table had room for 150 knights and along with the table, King Leodregance sent 100 knights!
Three days after Guinevere arrived at Camelot, she and Arthur were married. As they marched along the streets, Arthur's knights followed and cheered with joy their king.
The Round Table was placed in the great hall and on each of the 150 chairs was the name of each knight written in gold. As each knight filled the chair and stood, Arthur gave them this challenge!
"You must promise your to be loyal to your king, to fight for the right, to be just in all things, and to show mercy to any who need it!"
The knights held their swords high and vowed in a solemn ceremony to honor their knighthood in all of these things...Thus the Round Table was established.
