" Camelot "

" A Stroll through the Rose Garden "

CAMELOT  was the most famous castle in the medieval legends of King Arthur.

According to legend, King Arthur reigned over Briton before the Saxon conquest.

Arthur became King as a young boy by pulling the sword " Excalibur " out of the stone.

At CAMELOT, Arthur established a brilliant court and seated the greatest and most 
chivalrous warriors in Europe, the Knights of the Round Table.

The Round Table at CAMELOT represented equality among men, and all who sat at that
table were treated the same as one another.

CAMELOT, home to King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, was the starting point of the quest
for the Holy Grail, and by the 1200's, it came to symbolize the center of the Arthurian world.

The oldest known stories of Arthur don't refer to CAMELOT by name, but it is 
first mentioned explicitly in the romance Lancelot written in the 12th century.

Famous characters known in the legend of CAMELOT are Sir Lancelot, 
Queen Guinevere, Merlin and Sir Galahad.

Although many question the existence of Arthur and CAMELOT, what cannot be denied
is the influence of the figure Arthur on literature, art, music and
society from the Middle Ages to the present.

So come, all ye OZARK Knights, to the Round Table of  our President King James
at CAMELOT, clothed in attire like that worn at Arthur's Round Table, for a 
festive Saturday night regal dinner and join with King for a " night to remember ".
