SEVEN FAMOUS ORDERS
Knights of the Round Table.

of xnigntnood ia or great antiquity.
Among the earliest of the European-na
tlon a history notes, in some form or an
other, the inatltutlon of an order of
chivalry, lta members conatltuting the
hlguest dignitaries of state. In' Beeklng
for the origin, of thla cuatom, we are
led back to tbe feudal ages, and the
commencement of the period of knight
hood, as we Understand v It, may be
placed at the. beginning of the tenth
century.. From the twelfth to the four
teenth century It had a great influence
la refining the manners of most of tha
natlona -of Europe. . - -. : .. . :
If not' the oldest, at least the moat
Interesting of the orders of knight
hood, waa the Knlghta of the Round Ta
ble. The earliest mention w have 'of
this order Is in Goeffrey of Monmouth.
