Castle of the Ancient Kings

"This castle belonged to the ancient kings. It'll do for awhile."

- Arthur Pendragon

The Castle of the Ancient Kings is an abandoned castle that was once home to the first kings of Camelot. Prince Arthur and his allies used it as a hideout during the Fall of Camelot.

History
The castle was once home to the ancient kings of Camelot. It contained a Round Table where the kings would hold counsel. According to Arthur, the table was designed so that no one man was afforded more importance than any other. Both the castle and the round table were eventually abandoned when a new citadel was built elsewhere.

Arthur and his allies sought refuge in the castle after Morgana's immortal army discovered their hideout in the Darkling Woods. Upon discovering the Round Table, Arthur gathered everyone around it and outlined his plan to rescue his father. One by one his allies pledged their allegiance to him and his cause, and Arthur rewarded their loyalty by knighting them.

Later, when Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights left to carry out their plan, Gwen and Gaius remained in the castle to gather supplies and prepare for any casualties (The Coming of Arthur).
