The table at which they met was created to have no head or foot, representing the equality of all the members. Different stories had different numbers of knights, ranging from only 12 to 150 or more.

The informal title for the knights who accompanied King Arthur on his adventures and who served him at Camelot . In January 1, 1344, Edward III founded a new company by this name, commissioning a 200’ diameter round table. This order foundered and was reconstituted in 1348 as the Order of the Garter in commemoration of the successful French campaign.

[Arthurian] The 150 knights who had 'sieges' at the table. King Laudegraunce brought 100 when he gave the table to Arthur; Merlin filled up 28 of the vacant seats, and the king elected Gawain and Tor; the remaining 20 seats were left for those who might prove worthy. These knights went forth in quest of adventures, but their chief exploits were concerned with the quest of the Holy Grail. Some of the most famous knights were: Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Gawain, Sir Kay, and Sir Mordred. A list of the knights and a description of their armor is given in the Theatre of Honour (1622) by Andrew Fairne.
