Green Knight [SEP] Introduction
The Green Knight (, , ) is a character from the 14th-century Arthurian poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and the related medieval work "The Greene Knight". His true name is revealed to be Bertilak de Hautdesert (an alternate spelling in some translations is "Bercilak" or "Bernlak") in "Sir Gawain", while "The Greene Knight" names him "Bredbeddle". The Green Knight later features as one of Arthur's greatest champions in the fragmentary ballad "King Arthur and King Cornwall", again with the name "Bredbeddle". In "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", Bertilak is transformed into the Green Knight by Morgan le Fay, a traditional adversary of King Arthur, in order to test his court.
