When the Green Knight first offers his challenge, none of the knights at Camelot are brave (or foolish) enough to accept it. It sounds a bit iffy - and iffy challenges are ones you think twice about.But Arthur is horrified that a challenge has gone unanswered at his Christmas Party (or Hogmanay - whatever): he accepts it himself.Gawain - who is the sensible one (actually everybody is sensible compared to Arthur, the poem calls him child3ered - which probably means childish) tells Arthur that if the King accepts the challenge, and it turns out to be dodgy (which it does) then the death of the King will mean the end of Camelot.Gawain agrees to take the fall, because if the King gets juiced it all goes down the chute.This is a very funny poem - it is a shame that more teachers don't notice that.
At first, they say nothing. The poet/narrator excuses them, saying that they kept silent out of courtesy. In reality, it would seem they were all afraid. The Green Knight knows this, and he mocks their cowardice. This prompts King Arthur to accept the challenge himself. Sir Gawain stops the king, however, saying that it would be better for him to die than the king. The other knights begin speaking at this point, saying that Sir Gawain is right, and very brave. After that King Authur accepted the challenge and the green knight died.
King Arthur is the first to step forward and accept the Green Knight's offer to strike his head off with an axe. Sir Gawain stops Arthur and convinces him to step aside and allow Gawain to strike the Green Knight instead.

1) he is the weakest of all the knights and his death would be the "least of any"2) this type of game is not worthy of a king;3) all knights are sworn to protect their king; and4) he simply asked for the king's permission.seged

The Christmas Game that the Green Knight proposed to Arthur's court was a challenge to any of Arthur's knights to strike him with an ax and then passively receive a blow in return a year and one day later.

When the Green Knight presents his challenge, King Arthur's knights are terrified. They sit there "still, now/All who followed Arthur, noble/And knave" (301-303). None of them accept its challenge because they know it is a death sentence. When Arthur rises to take the blow, though, Gawain is spurred into action out or loyalty for his kind and a desire that he die in Arthur's place.

He set his Knights of the Round Table the quest to find the Holy Grail.
Arthur was the King of England, of course, and also the lord of all the land......Guenevere loved him for her own reasons, but also loved Lancelot (her lover) for his reasons. Arthur knew about her cheating on him because Merlin told it would happen. Arthur didn't want to catch them in the act, for he would have to release war on his best friend, Lancelot. Guenevere really loved them both, but couldn't leave Arthur for him.
