Description of Sir Gawain:

Gawain (/ɡəˈweɪn/) is one of a select number of Round Table members to be referred to as one of the greatest knights & closest companions of King Arthur. He is often portrayed as a formidable, courteous, & compassionate warrior, fiercely loyal to his king & family. He is a friend to young knights, a defender of the poor, & as "the Maidens' Knight" a defender of women. One recurring theme of later versions of Gawain's legend is his friendship with Lancelot who eventually becomes his bitter enemy. Gawain's usually glowing portrayals are diminished in the Grail Cycle in favor of Galahad & his character even turns outright villainous in the Prose Tristan.
