King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table


http://www.legendofkingarthur.co.uk/king-arthur-knights.htm














King Arthur is hardly more prominent than his Knights of the Round Table in most of the romance literature on Camelot. The knights themselves are the heroes of many of the stories. Where information exists to an individual Knight of the Round Table, then you can follow that link to his own page for more information.
The big three are Sir Bedivere, Sir Gawain, and Sir Kay. Later surpassed by Sir Lancelot.
The total number of knights depends on the source you consult. The Round Table seems to have started with 50 seats, and grown, in literature anyway, through Malory's 150 to an unlikely 1600 in some.
Many of the knights of the round table only play a minor role in the legends.
A list of those Knights of the Round Table includes:-
