No, I haven’t read them. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a few other books I’ve been planning on ordering from Amazon, & I’ll have to check them out. You might want to try “The Once & Future King” by T.H. White - a very enjoyable novel about King Arthur.

I read that as an adolescent, too - that’s where I read:

“Everything Not Forbidden Is Mandatory”!

I always wanted to live in King Arthur’s days, not in modern times.

Just copied this from one of the reviews on Amazon:

The oath of the knights of the Round Table:

"And this was the covenant of their Knighthood of the Round Table: That they would be gentle unto the weak; that they would be courageous unto the strong; that they would be terrible unto the wicked and the evil-doer that they would defend the helpless who should call upon them for aid; that all women should be held unto them sacred; that they would stand unto the defence of one another whensoever such defence should be required; that they would be merciful unto all men; that they would be gentle of deed, true in friendship, and faithful in love. This was their covenant, and unto it each knight sware upon the cross of his sword, and in witness thereof did kiss the hilt thereof."
