THE  KNIGHTS  ROUND TABLE



     The Knights of the Round Table were really brave and loyal knights. They all believed in King Arthur's idea of Camelot. Camelot was the idea that everyone lived peacefully and in justice. King Arthur needed knights to fulfill this and fight off anyone who didn't agree. Nobody knows for sure how many knights there were but I will tell you about five.

     The first out of the five knights that I'm telling about is King Arthur. King Arthur started Camelot and organized the Knights of the Round Table. The second knight I will tell about is Sir Lancelot. He was the first knight to follow Arthur and was Arthur's best friend. The third knight is Sir Galahad. He achieved the quest for the Holy Grail. He is also known as the perfect knight .The fourth knight is Sir Gawain. Gawain is most famous for defeating the green knight. He was courteous and chivalrous. The last knight is Sir Kay. He was Arthur's brother and Arthur trusted him a lot. All of the knights contributed greatly to King Arthur and the kingdom of Camelot.

                   QUESTIONS:

1. Nobody knows the exact number of knights at the round table. If you were King Arthur, how many knights would you have and why?

2. Do you think if you were alive back then, you would be brave enough to be a knight of the round table?

3. Why was King Artur so determained to find the Holy Grail?
