arthur's men discover cornwall has sent a seven-headed monster, a sprite named burlow beanie, to spy on them. sir bredbeddle, the green knight, wages a long battle against him with a sword from cologne, a milanese knife, a danish axe, and finally a sacred page from the christian bible gives him the upper hand. as a test of his control over the creature, he orders him to fetch a horse. though burlow beanie obeys, he rebels when another knight, marramile, tries to control him, and the green knight is called in to help. a missing section likely described arthur's men taking possession of cornwall's other magical objects and learning the secret of their use from the sprite. the remaining text describes arthur beheading king cornwall with his own sword; the final missing half page likely described his triumph.
