The list was compiled from original sources, including Culhwch and Olwen, The Dream of Rhonabwy, The Twenty-Four Knights of Arthur's Court, The Welsh Triads, and Welsh Genealogical Tracts by Sigurd Towrie. It has been pointed out that knights is a medieval concept and the more likely name for the warriors of Arthur in the Welsh sources would be marchog(ion) which was used similar to the German ' ritter' or French 'chevalier' to represent someone who had the right to ride a horse. These would have included the retinue of the leader and his family, plus the head of each family of the free classes. All other warriors generally went on foot and even the horsemen commonly dismounted to fight.
Names with an asterisk (*) are known historical personages. And where known, the meaning of names or epithets are given in brackets after the name. The term "ap" means "son of" and the term "ferch" means "daughter of".
