King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
The semilegendary King Arthur is probably the most well-known king in all of English literature. Tales of Arthur and his knights span several centuries and many different languages. The so-called Round Table, the meeting place of Arthur and the knights, was round so that no one member seemed favored over the others.
