Camelot : Camelot was King Arthur’s castle. In the Arthurian legends, Camelot represented a place of honor and peace, the home of the Round Table and King Arthur’s knights. It was the place from which the knights departed on their adventures, and to which they would return after the fighting was done and the foe was defeated. It was the court and seat of government. In pictures Camelot is usually depicted as a 12th- or 15th-century medieval castle, but Arthur actually lived in the 6th century, when there were no castles and clothes and armor were much simpler than are usually shown.
