King Arthur
or Artwyr Pendragon,
King of Britain
6th cousin 49 times removed
In
Arthurian legend, the table of Arthur, Britain's legendary king identified
as Arthwyr Pendragon, told of King Arthur's having a round table made
so that none of his barons, when seated at it, could claim precedence
over the others. The literary importance of the Round Table, especially
in romances of the 13th century and afterward, lies in the fact that
it served to provide the knights of Arthur's court with a name and
a collective personality. |
