The Round Table Knights were a group of greatest knights who had the honor to sit at the Round Table at King Arthur's court. According to a story, Arthur had a carpenter build the Round Table to show that no knight, not even Arthur himself was 'head of the table". All were equal and the king was just "first among equals". The table was so large that it had enough seats for 150 men and yet could be folded up and carried on horseback. According to another source… Merlin the magician had the table built for Uther, Arthur's father. Uther gave the table to King Leodegan. Later, Leodegan gave the table to Arthur after Arthur married Guenevere, Leodegan's daughter. Still another story says that the Round Table had 12 seats around it, like the table at the Last Supper, with an empty place representing Judas's seat. This seat was called the Siege Perilous, and was reserved for the knight so pure in heart that he would someday find the Holy Grail, the cup or dish used by Jesus at the Last Supper. Any other knight who sat in the seat would die. One day, Sir Galahad's name appeared on the seat. From then on, he occupied the Siege Perilous. Later, as expected, he found the Holy Grail with the other two knights.
