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.
