Their inner circle includes Jim O'Neill, chief economist of Goldman Sachs and a former director of United, and Paul Marshall, founder of Marshall Wace, a hedge fund. |

Wace says Arthur created the Round Table to prevent quarrels among his barons, none of whom would accept a lower place than the others. |
|
Wace relates that Harold ordered his men to stay in their formations but no other account gives this detail. |
|
The table was first described in 1155 by Wace, who relied on previous depictions of Arthur's fabulous retinue. |
|
Though the Round Table itself is not mentioned until Wace, the concept of Arthur having a marvelous court made up of many prominent warriors is much older. |
|
According to Wace, in 1089 de Redvers was in the service of Robert Curthose, but was allowed to join his younger brother Henry's retinue at Henry's request. |
