Around this time in 1290, England's King Edward I held a jousting tournament (with knights in full armor) to celebrate the betrothal of his daughter. He was enamored of the legends surrounding King Arthur, and had a huge Round Table constructed for this event; the table top hangs today in the Great Hall of Winchester Castle. My chain-mail tie is perfectly suited to honor this event (and it offers me a tiny bit of protection).
