one new year's eve, the green knight showed up at the feast held by king Arther. then suddenly said he wants to play a new year game. the game was about 'who can chop his head off'. no one really wanted to play it but Sir Gawain decided to play it. and he easily sliced off his green head. but the green knight's body was still alive , picked up his head and said 'now it's my turn. meet me at the green chapel next new year's day.'
the next winter, Sir Gawain was looking for the green chapel. somehow, he finally found the place then he met Sir bertilak and his wife. they treated him really nice. but once while Bertilak went out for hunting, his wife kissed Gawain. on the next day Bertiak's wife kissed him twice. on the third night, she kissed him three times. so he told Bertilak everything. then on the forth night, his wife gave him a magic belt. she said it could save his life from the green knight. so he kept it secret. then on the new year's day, sir gawain kneeling down. the green knight raised his massive sword, but lowered. the raised it again, then put it down. but third time, the green knight gave him really bad neck on neck. then he suddenly started shrinking. and turned into sir bertilak. said he was the green knight, and all the stuff his wife did was the test. he wanted to see how is he really like. then green knight laughed and said 'no more games!'
