Though Lancelot is often referred to as the greatest knight, Gawain is also referred to as the greatest knight of the Round Table on occasion and is most recognized from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
The key source for the most famous story involving Gawain is the 14th century Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Another important source for his life and death is Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur.
By looking at how Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is constructed and how it develops, they can see how an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances deals with their situation; which is vastly more interesting than someone who is equipped for it.
Gawain is variously portrayed by poets and romancers. Ofttimes, in English works especially, he is a chivalrous hero that endures and passes extreme tests like the one he undergoes in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
