Round Table (chivalric order)

The Round Table was a legendary chivalric order associated with King Arthur, symbolizing equality and unity among knights. Unlike traditional hierarchical gatherings, the round table had no head, emphasizing that all knights were equal in status and voice. It represented ideals of honor, loyalty, and noble conduct, and served as a moral and social hub for legendary tales of heroism and justice. While rooted in myth and legend, the concept has become a symbol of camaraderie and the pursuit of noble ideals in Western culture.
