Read the excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Gawain, sitting next to the Queen, Bowed to the King then: "I will keep my words plain. I ask for this battle to be mine.” "If you please, glorious lord,” Gawain said to the King, "I will turn from this table and stand by you there, If I may do that without discourtesy, And without displeasing my liege lady, I would come to your counsel before your great court…” What chivalric value does Gawain display in the excerpt?
Gawain respectfully asks the King to let him take on the battle, offering to stand by the King and serve him. This shows loyalty to his king, rather than physical strength, honesty, or religious devotion.
