Generally the swag chain will originate on a spot on the ceiling in the center of the room, but the chandelier looks best and is most useful centered over the table. This is accomplished, of course, by draping the chain to a ceiling hook over the table, from which the chandelier will hang down. If the light is hung anywhere else than centered over the table, there is also the disadvantage that a taller person may hit it with his head.
The best dining room lighting would be a chandelier that is centered over the dining room table. This light is ideal because it provides a central light for whatever is taking place on the table.
There has been some debate over this one, but yes, the Knights of the Round Table were actually real. There really was a round table that King Arthur's knights sat around in order to hear his words. A lot of movies that were made from this show a lot about exactly how the Knights of the Round Table worked. See the following link for more detailed information about the Round Table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_the_Round_Table

In the Arthurian legend, the round table is a symbol for the equality of all who are invited to sit at it. One may be a king, a warrior, or otherwise great, but at the Round Table, no one takes precedence over any other; or, to put it another way, all share equally in honor.
The most important seat at the Round Table was typically reserved for King Arthur, as he was the leader of the Knights of the Round Table and the one who convened the meetings. His seat symbolized his authority and leadership over the knights.
The answer depends on how much you want your "table topper" to hang over the edge of the table. If you want 6 inches of over-hang, then you would double 6 inches to have 12 inches of over-hang then add that to the diameter of your table: 12 + 60 = 72 inches of total "table topper".
The round table was used rather than a more conventional rectangle so that there would be no 'seating plan'. According to Sir Thomas Malory in the Morte D'Arthur, King Arthur implemented the Round Table because his knights kept fighting over who got the most prestigious seats at a normal, rectangular table (presumably those near the head of the table). By using a round table instead, Arthur made each seat equally prestigious, as a circle has no head or foot.
