==Description==
The '''Round Table''' is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur King Arthur]'s famed table in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthurian_legend Arthurian legend], around which he and his [[Knights]] congregate. As its name suggests, it has no head, implying that everyone who sits there has [[equal]] [[status]]. The table was first described in 1155 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wace Wace], who relied on previous depictions of Arthur's fabulous retinue. The [[symbolism]] of the ''Round Table'' developed over time; by the close of the 12th century it had come to represent the [[chivalric]] order associated with Arthur's court, the Knights of the Round Table.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Table]
