The farthest I got was La Fontaine de Barenton in Britanny,which took some finding. It's in the middle of a forest and is the place where Merlin met Vivian who enchanted him and kept him a prisoner so that she would not lose him as her lover.<br />I ashamed to say I still haven't seen the Winchester Round Table.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811710431280544637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-10012591578080757922013-03-17T19:26:54.736+00:002013-03-17T19:26:54.736+00:00@Rob - there is still a lot of discussion whether ...@Rob - there is still a lot of discussion whether Arthur existed or not.<br /><br />@Mike - I'm afraid the Vietnam peace talks did not register with me.<br /><br />@Alan - The picture of the Countess of Salisbury, the former Fair Maid of Kent, would fit here or in the Round Tower at Windsor since it was in London that she is reputed to have lost her garter. King Edward picked it up and out it on saying "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense" which has become part of the insignia of the Order of the Garter.<br />The Round Tower was built to house Edward's Round Table.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-5588525484438536972013-03-17T12:04:53.239+00:002013-03-17T12:04:53.239+00:00Ah, a round table, no one is at the head of the ta...Ah, a round table, no one is at the head of the table at a round table!

Tables, whether round square or oblong have such a wealth of political traditions - who shall sit where; who shall face the doorway; how will the plates and cutlery be arranged; what are the appropriate table manners. Remember the protracted negotiations of the Vietnam War Peace Talks just on the shape and size of the table?
