Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
What challenge does the Green Knight make to King Arthur and his knights?
You strike at my neck and then in a year and a day i strick at yours
You strike at my neck and then in a year and a day i strick at yours
The Green Knight challenges Arthur and his knights to step forward and strike him, using his own axe. His condition.... whoever took the challenge must meet him a year later and receive a returning strike.
