[SEE-ehj] (n. m.) The surest way to conquer a fortress is to take a seat. If the enemy's feeling all cozy in their keep, behind their moat, all your army does is just wait it out. Starve them by seating in camps around the castle, depriving them of supplies or communication. This is called a siege and it was named after a siège, the French word for a seat. The folklore surrounding King Arthur's Round Table makes use of the French word in its original meaning. The table had twelve seats but one was left empty for a knight who would achieve the Grail. They called it Siege Perilous. Some say it was Galahad who took the seat with the French moniker, others say it was Percival. But that's got nothing to do with anything.
