At first glance, charters seem to be nothing more than obscure and boring legal documents, as dull in the Middle Ages as they are today. On closer examination however, there is much more to charters than stiff, dry records of medieval legalese.

Pop culture today portrays the Knights of the Round Table as a close-knit group of legendary knights loyal to their king.
