Royal Round Table

"A round table afforded no one man more importance than any other. They believed in equality in all things."

- Arthur about the Ancient Kings

The Royal Round Table was a table owned by the Ancient Kings of Camelot. Arthur Pendragon also used a Round Table during his reign.

According to Arthur, the Royal Round Table once belonged to the Ancient Kings of Camelot. They held counsel at the table because its shape afforded no one man more importance than any other, which aligned with their belief in equality in all things.

The tradition was revived by Arthur Pendragon shortly before his first attempt to retake Camelot from Morgause and Morgana's immortal army. After discovering the Round Table abandoned in the Castle of the Ancient Kings, Arthur invited his allies to join him at it and outlined his plan to rescue his father from Camelot's dungeons.

Those who joined Arthur at the Round Table and know of its existence include the sorcerer Merlin; future Queen Guinevere; Gaius, the Court Physician; and Gwaine, Elyan, Percival, Leon, and Lancelot, who became known as the Knights of the Round Table (The Coming of Arthur).

Any of the nine seats are marked by inscription in Old English.

- Arthur Pendragon

After retaking Camelot from Morgana for a second time, King Arthur designed a larger replica of the original Round Table and began to hold counsel at it in the throne room.

The known members of this new Round Table include King Arthur; Queen Guinevere; the Knights of Camelot (including the Knights of the Round Table); and Gaius, the Court Physician (Arthur's Bane)

The Round Table was damaged and had to be repaired after Uther's spirit caused a chandelier to fall on it (The Death Song of Uther Pendragon).

Arthur and Sarrum of Amata met at the Round Table to sign a treaty that would establish an alliance between their kingdoms (The Hollow Queen).

It is assumed that Arthur's successor, Guinevere, continued the tradition of the Round Table after his death (The Diamond of the Day).

Behind the Scenes

 * Unlike the table seen in The Coming of Arthur, the new Round Table is located in the throne room and is much bigger in size than its original counterpart.
 * This is likely due to the fact that there are more members of the second Round Table than the original.
 * Although the Art Designer for the Round Table of the Ancient King provided seats specific to the characters with a meaning related to either their role in relation to Arthur or their characteristics, for unknown reason the places are messed up in the scene.
