The Knights of the Round Table
King Arthur's Knights
Lancelot, the knight who stole Arthur's Queen
So many myths and legends surrounding these noble figures.
From "Monty Python's and the Holy Grail"
The Quest for the Holy Grail.
The emblem for the Knights of the Round Table:
The circle for their ever-fair table,
the red dragon for their loyalty to Arthur,
the cross for their purity of heart.
From Pre Feudal times to the reign of a Christian Empire and Feudal Castles stretching all throughout Europe, the role of Knights and their order has been devoted to the supreme values and quest for human perfection.
These figures were the world's first heroes and have provided literature with endless fascinating stories and parables.
