Setting aside, for the moment, the '''Round Table''' exhibited in the Great Hall of the castle at [[Winchester]], England, the mythical Round Table was supposed to have been created for '''Uthur Pendragon''' by '''Merlin'''.<br>
From Uthur it passed to King '''Leodegrance''', aagin possibly through Merlin's arrangement. He, [[Malory]] says, sought to fill its seats (or ''seiges'') but wars and other losses meant that the most he ever appears to have managed was 100 out of the 150 vacant seats.<br>
Then [[King Arthur|Arthur]] received the Table as a wedding gift from Leodegrance when he married Leodegrance's daughter, [[Guinevere]] and over time filled the remaining seats, up till the Quest for the Grail, after which, the accounts make clear, the Table was enevr again filled

====Practicality====
At a size of 150 seats, the table would have been unfeasibly large, but with any fewer there would have been a risk that storytellers would have had to enforce a discrimination between classes of Arthurian knights, as to whether or no they were sufficiently valiant to emrit the Round Table. With 150, no-one could be expected to remember when the literary limit had been reached.<br>
The Winchester Table (which reaches 18 feet in diameter(!)) has 24 places around its circumference, each inscribed with the name of its tenant.

Of these several are well-known Arthurian knights:
* Sir Galahad
* Sir Lancelot du Lac
* Sir Gawain
* Sir Percival
* Sir Tristram de Lyones
* Sir Gareth
* Sir Bedevere
* Sir Palomedes
* Sir Lamorak
* Sir Bors
* Sir Pelleas
* Sir Kay
* Sir Ector
* Sir Mordred

Others are perhaps slightly more obscure:
* Sir Brunour
* Sir Digore
* Sir Dagonet -- otherwise known as Arthur's court fool (''but then, looking at *some* modern day knights ... '')
* Sir Lionell
* Sir Bleoberis
* Sir Lucan

And some require a little deciphering:
* "Sir Lacotemale Tayle" is ''La Cote Mail Taile'', the Ill-Dressed Knight, which is another name for Sir Brunour, something perhaps unknown to the painter of the Table.
* "Sir Lybyus Dysconys" is ''Le Bel Desconneu'', the Beautiful Unknown, or Gawain's son, Guinglain.

And some seem otherwise unknown to modern eyes:
* Sir Safer
* Sir Alynore or Alymere
