Items of Arthurian Tradition
There were several objects that played an important role in the stories and legends of King Arthur and
the Knights of the Round Table. The most obvious was the Round Table which was given to Arthur as
Guinevere's dowry when they were married. The Table became the place where the Knights gathered
and symbolized equality, unity, and oneness.
There was also Excalibur, the beautiful, magical sword that was given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake.
Excalibur was extremely powerful and at the Last Battle of Camlann, Arthur had Bedivere throw Excalibur
back into the lake from whence it came. Finally, there was the Holy Grail. Much of Arthurian Tradition
hinges on the Quest for the Grail.
As you can see, there are several items which are inseparably associated with King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table. While it probably would be a bit impractical to own a 1-1/4 ton, 18' diameter
Round Table, or to set out on a search for the Holy Grail, you can make a connection to the medieval
past by owning a King Arthur theme chess set. Buy a King Arthur chess set today and get years of
pleasure from it for many of your tomorrows.
