recommended price
The
vast wooden disk
known as King Arthur's Round Table has hung on the wall of the Great
Hall
of Winchester Castle for over six hundred years. But what is it? Was it
ever a table? When was it painted with the famous image it bears? And
why
at Winchester?
In
1976 the Round
Table was taken down from the wall and thoroughly examined by a team of
historians and scientists assembled by Martin Biddle. In this book they
show how the history and structural archaeology of the Winchester Round
Table reveal its changing use as a symbol of power to successive
generations,
from the thirteenth century to the present day.
