The Greene Knight is a late medieval rhyming romance found in the Percy Folio Manuscript. The storyline effectively parallels the more famous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in describing the dealings of Gawain King Arthur’s nephew with the Greene Knight.The text was edited by Thomas Hahn for the Camelot Project. Key differences adduced by Hahn from the longer poem include rapid pacing more explicit character motivations and a rhyme scheme more suitable for popular recitation.
