Round Table (tournament) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Round Table (tournament) A Round Table was a festive event during the Middle Ages that involved jousting, feasting, and dancing in imitation of King Arthur's legendary court. Named for Arthur's famed Round Table, the festivals generally involved jousts with blunted weapons, and often celebrated weddings or victories. In some cases participants dressed in the costume of such well-known knights as Lancelot, Tristan, and Palamedes. The first recorded instance of this activity was in 1223, when the Crusader lord of Beirut held one in Cyprus to celebrate the knighting of his eldest sons. ==Round Tables in Germany, France and Iberia== Round Tables were an aristocratic activity throughout Europe from the 13th until the 15th centuries. They are recorded in France from 1235 to 1332. In Aragon they were held as early as 1269 in Valencia and as late as 1291 in Catalonia. According to Roger Sherman Loomis, "Popes and prelates thundered against these costly, dangerous, and sometimes licentious frivolities, and denied Christian burial to those who took part." Even the middle classes were caught up in this spectacle. In 1281, a burgher of Magdeburg announced a Round Table in that town. Another was set up by the burghers of Tournai in 1330. Rene d'Anjou went so far as to construct a castle for his 1446 Round Table.〔Lacy, Norris J. (1991). "Round Tables". In Lacy, Norris J. (Ed.), ''The New Arthurian Encyclopedia'', p. 391.
