What are some similarities between the two mead halls, Heorot and Camelot?

Both halls are built by warrior kings to honor their brave soldiers. Both halls are gathering places for the court, sort of like the kings' headquarters. Both halls become famous across Europe and are well-known by name. Inside both of the halls, challenges are issued that question the bravery of the knights inside; in Herot, Grendel rampages and sparks fear into the hearts of all of Hrothgar's men; in Camelot, the Green Knight rides in and issues a brazen challenge to King Arthur and all of his knights.
