Round table
A round
table is one which has no "head" and no "sides", and therefore no one person sitting at it is given a privileged position and all are treated as equals. The idea stems from the
Arthurian legend about the Knights of the
Round Table in
Camelot. Today, round tables are often used at conferences involving many parties. The most famous modern round table was the one used for talks between the Communist government and
Solidarity in
Poland in
1989; see:
Polish Round Table Agreement. Hence, the term "round table" is also used figuratively to refer to a peaceful way of achieving a compromise solution.

Round Table
A kind of
tournament that was more structured than a
hastilude or
pas d’armes , where
knights played the roles of historical or romantic characters, usually involving the Arthurian mythos. Modern tournament formats like the
Seven Sins tourney are examples of highly effective and entertaining round tables. Ladies often enjoyed a prominent role in these festivals, and the pageantry was often very striking.
Knights of the Round Table
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
