Read the following text from a legend. This excerpt is about the Order of the Knights of the Round Table.
The king rose and spoke to all the Table Round. He charged them to be always true and noble knights, to do neither outrage nor murder, nor any unjust violence, and lastly, never to take part in any wrongful quarrel, for reward or payment. And to all this he swore them, knight by knight.
Then he declared that, every year, they should all come before him, wherever he might choose, and give an account of all their doings and adventures of the past twelve months. And so, with high words of cheer, he instituted the most noble order of the Round Table, to which the best and bravest knights in all the world sought admission.
