in the middle ages,serfs worked hard!

Serfs began working very early on in life. As young children, they would normally keep animals out of the non fallow fields in the three field system. If your father was a serf, everyone in your family became a serf unless you ran away, and in the late middle ages, a law was passed that said if you ran away, and weren't caught for 100 days, you became free. They ate maybe a half a pound each of meat for the whole year, and sometimes the food was so scarce and bland, women would add flavor with grass and dirt. The material for clothes were low quality, but one good thing they did get were holy sacraments from the priest, such as unction, and baptism.

Who were the knights of the Round Table?

There were 150 of them.
The Knights of the Round Table were people in the legends about King Arthur. They were highest honored knights in the kingdom, and lived in King Arthur's personal castle, Camelot. They were called that because of a special table in Camelot, that was round instead of rectangular. This meant that everyone who sat around it was seen as equal to one another.
What was the role of a knight?
In medieval times, their traditions were largely based on the traditions of cavalry of the Germanic tribes. Their position continued to evolve, but they were always the heavy cavalry of the feudal lords.
About the beginning of the High Middle ages, heavy cavalry was supreme on the battlefield. But this was to change because even the best armor would not stop arrows from trained archers with longbows or crossbows. The armor got heavier, but it was never possible to make it heavy enough.
The introduction of guns meant the soldiers defeating knights did not even have to be highly trained. Knighthood continued, however, as an honor for a king to bestow, and was regarded as important because it connected a man with the king.
The literal meaning of chivalry is a body or unit of knights (Anglo-Norman French chevalerie).
Today the word is used of a completely fictional idea of the "traditional" qualities of medieval knighthood, such as honour, protection of the weak, generosity to enemies and gallantry. This fictional view actually began in the medieval period, as fables and dramatic stories of gallant kinghts - the King Arthur stories are among these, but there are many others. They were seen at the time as entertaining fairy tales and were not intended to reflect the real world.
Throughout the medieval period, knights were brutal thugs trained to maim and kill their opponents without any thoughts of gallantry - study the details of any medieval battle and you will find little that could be called chivalrous. The fictional ideal was picked up in 19th century European literature and art, which helped to enforce the concept of gallant knights errant rescuing damsels in distress.
