The classic tale of “King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table” is well-known to all.
The book’s synopsis, authored by Roger Lanceyn Green and released in 1953, combines tales from Sir Thomas Malory’s Arthurian chronicle Le Morte d’Arthur with additional Arthurian poetry and folktales from across Europe. He combines the tales into a unified, overarching account of King Arthur’s ascent to power, his knights’ conquest, the search for the Holy Grail, and Britain’s decline into darkness.
Although the exact number of knights that sat at the round table is unknown, it is believed to have been roughly 12 (excluding the King). Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Bedivere, Sir Galahad, Sir Tristan, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Sir Gaheris, Sir Geraint, Sir Percival, and Sir Boris the Younger were among the knights.
However, were the lesser knights seated at the round table familiar to you? If you don’t, you’ll be shocked to learn who they were. In fact, you might have heard of them previously.
