ROUND TABLE, THE

[Arthurian] The Table fabled to have been made by Merlin at Carduel for Uther Pendragon. Uther gave it to King Leodegrance of Cameliard, who in turn gave it to King Arthur when he married his daughter Guinevere. The Table was circular to prevent any jealousy on the score of precedency. It seated 150 knights, and one seat, the Siege Perilous, was reserved for the one who found the Grail.
