The Green Knight challenges the Knights of the Round Table, Fife 1
So at Christmas in this court I lay down a challenge: if a person here present, within these premises is big or bold or red blooded enough to strike me one stroke and be struck in return i shall give him this axe as a gift this gigantic cleaver and the axe shall be his to handle how he likes. I'll kneel, bare my neck and take the first knock.

Gawain fulfills the challenge, Fife 4
She guided me in this guise to your great hall to put pride on trial, and to test with this trick what distiction and trust the Round Table deserves,
