The challenge that the Green Knight presents to King Arthur's court is a game of exchanging blows. In the story of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," the Green Knight proposes a challenge where one knight may strike him with an axe, but must agree to receive a return blow in one year and a day. This sets off the events that lead to Sir Gawain's quest and the ensuing adventures.
