Knights of the Round
"Spirit of Sir ____, Arise!"

The Knights all have the title "Sir" instead of Sailor, Knight, Kamen, etc.

Supposedly, there were anywhere from twelve to two hundred and fifty knights. While we do have a short list of the knights, you'll have to go out and research power base on your own. Here's some information and links to get you started. For more information on the Knights of the Round, see the main England page. Also, keep an eye on the characters to see which knights are taken.

"King Arthur's knights, so called from the large circular table round which they sat. The table was circular to prevent any heart-sore about precedency. The number of these knights is variously given. The popular notion is that they were twelve; several authorities say there were forty; but the History of Prince Arthur states that the table was made to accommodate 150. King Leodegraunce, who gave Arthur the table on his wedding-day, sent him also 100 knights, Merlin furnished twentyeight, Arthur himself added two, and twenty sieges were left to reward merit (chaps. xlv., xlvi.). These knights went forth into all countries in quest of adventures. The most noted are-
   Sir Acolon, Ballamore, Beaumaris, Beleobus, Belvoure, Bersunt, Bors, Ector, Eric, Ewain, Floll, Gaheris, Galahad, Galohalt, Gareth, Gauriel, Gawain or Ywain, Grislet, Kay, Lamerock, Launcelot du Lac, Lionell, Marhaus, Palamide, Paquinet, Pelleas, Peredur or Perceval, Sagris, Superabilis, Tor, Tristam or Tristan de Leonnais, Turquine, Wigalois, Wigamur, etc., etc.
    A list of the knights and a description of their armour is given in the Theatre of Honour by Andrew Fairne (1622). According to this list, the number was 151; but in Lancelot of the Lake (vol. ii. p. 81), they are said to have amounted to 250."

In other words, there are supposedly a lot of knights, and we'll take obscure ones if you can back them up with some research.

You can find some interesting tidbits of information, as well as some alternate knights, here. For more resources, try here.

Of course, the most complete list imaginable is said to be in Andrew Fairne's Theatre of Honour. Unfortunately, it's not a book that's easy to get a hold of, and when you do manage to find it, it tends to be rather expensive. Someday I'll buy it. Well, okay, maybe... if someone gives me $1500. Anyone?
