The legend of King Arthur is important because it serves as a touchstone for the first ideas of equality and democracy within England; the democratic ideals that originated in Athens, Greece wouldn't make their way north to England for many more centuries. According to legend, King Arthur had his most trusted knights sit at a round table, at which no one knight had any more standing than any other - including the king. This was revolutionary thinking, because in feudal England no one was equal to the king.
