Day 065/16. Knights of the Round Table ??

This is the Round Table in the great hall, Winchester. It was thought to be the Round Table from King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table fame for many years.... carbon dating disproves that story and puts it around 1290 (probably  for a tournament near Winchester to celebrate the betrothal of one of King Edward I’s daughters). So its probably only 725 years old........ And it's been hanging on the wall in this hall since around 1348.
