Marketing Verbiage

The Round Table, first mentioned by Robert Wace in his Roman de Brut, was not only a physical table but the highest Order of Chivalry at the Court of King Arthur. Its members were supposedly the cream of the British military who followed a strict code of honor and service. Especially known due to the Historical film (1953) made by MGM, with Robert Taylor and Ava Gardner.
