In the deep forests of myth and memory, the Green Knight stands as one of the most enduring and mysterious figures of medieval legend, a guardian of sacred law, seasonal renewal, and the ancient bond between kingship and the land.

The Green Knight: Kingship, Trial, and the Sacred Forest explores the legendary world of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, tracing its roots far beyond Arthurian romance into older traditions of the Green Man, sacred groves, oak and holly kings, ritual challenge, and the timeless struggle between civilisation and the wild.
