In Arthurian legend, the Siege Perilous is an empty seat at the Round Table reserved by Merlin for the knight who would successfully find the Holy Grail.

In Arthurian legend, the Siege Perilous is an empty seat at the Round Table reserved by Merlin for the knight who would successfully find the Holy Grail. In Thomas Malory's book "Le Morte d'Arthur," Sir Galahad takes the seat on Whitsunday, but it is said to be fatal for anyone unworthy who sits in it. (For context, it would be like if Hobbs or Shaw took Brian’s seat.) Some scholars believe the “perilous seat” is a half-remembered Celtic ritual similar to the Irish Lia Fáil.
