Review
A valuable contribution to the study of the cult of chivalry. JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGYA splendidly produced volume. TLSMakes a useful contribution to Arthurian studies and the history of jousting, pageantry and royal palaces. SOUTHERN HISTORY SOCIETYThis fascinating study of a fantastical building takes a suitably multi-disciplinary approach. (...) Supplemented with documentary appendices and splendid illustrations, this in-depth study explores the historical background to a modern archaeological discovery, detailing its analogues and inspirations, ultimately revealing that role-playing games are nothing new; it can't be praised enough.

The Round Table at Windsor was an huge project for fourteenth century in England, particularly in 1344, where Edward III had run up great debts in the Low Countries and had had to face the Crisis of 1341, where he had had a run in with some of his most important ministers. But it was fun to see his chivarlic dream of a Round Table of 300 knights culminate in January 1344.
The three authors Munby, Barber, and Brown were very good in analizing the various aspects of the Round Table from the building plans-although they are somewhat tedious to read to the various aspects of different structures and knightly orders. On the whole it presented a good picture of how the various European kings like Fredrick II, Alfonso XI, Karoly I, and Edward III himself tried to bind together elite groups of knights to present either chivarlous or political statements from holding Round Table tournaments. Very inspiring.
This is a really good book if you wnt to know how medieval rulers harnessed the powerss of chivarly in their kingdoms to great effects. It also holds great records of the finding of the Round Table building in August 2006. This was a very enjoyable book.
