Explain how the rules of chivalry and courtly love govern the way Arthur and Gawain react to the Green Knight's challenge.

@Aslan

How would you, kind of, sum all that up? XD

Hey, there were strict rules around chivalry and courtly love according to Arthurian law. I'm going to link you with a simpler page on both. There is so much to these that it's better that I refer you rather than type it all out.

@Aslan Thanks!

No worries!
