Arthur &
The
Knights of The Round Table
King Arthur's Round Table has become a symbol for
equality and just government.
Geoffrey of Monmouth makes no mention of a Round Table
in his History of Arthur.
It was the French monk Robert Wace, writing around
1155, who was the first to mention this piece of furniture in his Roman de
Brut. Supposed Round Tables sites in Britain include in Bryn-Rhyd-yr-Arian,
Caerleon, Penrith, Stirling, and
Winchester.
Wace says that Arthur's knights sat around a round
table while Arthur sat on a dais, above the Round Table. The idea here was that
the knights were all equal but Arthur was still the king. Wace doesn't tell us
how many knights sat around
the table.
A few years later, an Englishman named Layamon in his
chronicle places Arthur's court in London. The Round Table is portrayed the
result of a chance meeting between Arthur and a Cornish carpenter, who offers
to make for the king a table
that could seat 1,600 men and be folded up and taken
anywhere.
Allowing
two feet for each person seated, this would give us a circumference of 3200 feet and a diameter
of 1019 feet which is about the length of 3 football pitches.
Robert de Boron tells us how Merlin ordered Uther
Pendragon to construct the table based on his vision of the Last Supper Table
and Joseph of Arimathea's Grail Table.
Merlin instructed Uther to have the table accommodate
50 chairs; he also said to leave one chair blank, for the knight who would
fulfill the Grail Quest. The Vulgate Cycle says the Round Table sat 250
knights.
The Vulgate Cycle introduces the idea of the Siege
Perilous, continuing the empty-chair theory but adding to it the caveat that
anyone not anointed would perish after sitting there. Galahad, of course, was
the only one able to sit there; it was he who fulfilled the Grail Quest.
The Siege Perilous is the seat (from the French siège)
at the Round Table in which only the chosen Grail knight may sit without
disastrous consequences. Malory tells us that it was made by Merlin ). When
Galahad arrives at Camelot,
his name appears on the seat destined for him.
