"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" Sir Gawain is King Arthur's nephew, and this is the story of how Gawain met a challenge from a giant knight dressed in all green armor.  The story is very serious and is told as though it were true; many people believe that King Arthur was a real person, but this story is probably not true.  If it were true, it has been greatly exaggerated.
