1. Chapter 1: When siege and assault had ceased... - 01:47
2. This fair Britain, founded by that famous knight... - 00:52
3. The king lay at Camelot one Christmas tide... - 01:08
4. With New Year not yet a day old... - 01:16
5. Now, Arthur would not eat until all were served... - 00:58
6. So he stands, the stern young king... - 01:06
7. I'll say nothing more about the meal... - 01:12
8. Green, were both the garments and the grinning man... - 01:31
9. Garbed in green was the gallant rider... - 01:27
10. And yet he had no helm or hauberk either... - 01:38
11. Stunned, the court stared... - 01:00
12. From the dais Arthur watched... - 01:34
13. 'Fight? Have no worry.' - 01:28
14. If he astonished them first... - 01:21
15. 'By heaven,' said Arthur... - 00:53
16. 'Grant me grace,' said Gawain... - 01:06
17. The king commanded the courtly knight to stand. - 01:12
18. 'By God,' said the Green Knight... - 01:24
19. The Green Knight stood... - 01:30
20. For he held the head up high in both his hands... - 01:29
21. And yet high-born Arthur was heavy at heart... - 01:25
22. Chapter 2: Arthur was granted his gift of adventure... - 01:29
23. So comes the summer season... - 01:10
24. Yet he lingers till All Hallows... - 01:26
25. He dwelt there that day... - 01:09
26. Hasped in his armour... - 01:26
27. Last they showed him his bright shield... - 01:12
28. First he was found faultless... - 01:35
29. He struck his steed with his spurs... - 01:07
30. Gallant Sir Gawain then in God's name rode out... - 01:04
31. Forsaken he rode far distant from his friends... - 01:28
32. More merry in the morning... - 01:13
33. Scarcely three times had he signed the holy cross... - 01:10
34. So he stayed his steed... - 01:05
35. 'Sir,' said Gawain... - 01:31
36. Gawain gazed at the good man... - 01:38
37. A chair by the chimney hearth... - 01:14
38. Then enquiries came, but questions carefully put... - 01:21
39. The Knight, done with his dining... - 02:23
40. When Gawain gazed upon that gracious lady... - 01:15
41. On that morning when men remember the birth of our dear lord... - 01:16
42. That day they made much merriment... - 01:19
43. With courteous questions he asked Gawain... - 01:44
44. Gladness filled Gawain then... - 01:20
45. 'Oh, one thing more' the master said... - 01:21

1. Chapter 3: Long before first light... - 01:24
2. At the burst of the baying the forest trembled. - 01:29
3. While the lord sought sport among the forest leaves... - 01:48
4. 'Good morning, good knight,' she murmured to Gawain... - 01:51
5. 'Good Lord!' said Gawain... - 01:10
6. 'Madam,' said that debonair man... - 01:26
7. She bids him good day... - 01:29
8. Still at his sport, the lord spurred his steed... - 01:47
9. The head, too, and the neck... - 00:57
10. The lord commands his men to meet... - 01:29
11. Afterwards in a chamber, by the chimney... - 00:52
12. Scenting quarry by a marshy covert... - 01:34
13. Pressing close to shoot hunters... - 01:09
14. Coming to the curtain, she coyly peeped in... - 01:52
15. I would learn from you, my lord,'... - 01:32
16. 'Good faith,' said Gawain then... - 01:16
17. Roused from rest, he rose... - 01:07
18. At last came the lord... - 00:56
19. Then in triumph many bugles blew the prise... - 01:07
20. Merry, the lord with loud voice and laughter... - 01:12
21. They laid out tables on top of trestles then... - 01:00
22. They drank more amid laughter... - 01:08
23. After Mass, he and his men down a morsel... - 01:21
24. To hear the hounds' voice was truly heart's delight... - 01:36
25. Out of the deepest darkness of drowsy dreams... - 01:06
26. For that precious princess... - 01:18
27. 'Such words,' said the woman... - 01:19
28. She offered him a rich ring... - 01:30
29. 'Do you refuse this silk now,'... - 01:12
30. With a word of farewell she went on her way... - 01:05
31. So let him linger there in the lea of their love... - 01:24
32. With night setting in... - 01:25
33. With mirth and minstrelsy... - 01:15
34. Courteous he kissed them... - 01:11
35. Chapter 4: So New Year draws near... - 00:01:25
36. He fastened on the finest pieces himself... - 01:04
37. Then Gringolet was groomed for him... - 01:05
38. The drawbridge was lowered... - 01:08
39. I have brought you this far... - 01:23
40. 'Good Sir Gawain, let that grim man well alone...' - 01:15
41. 'Mary!' said the servant... - 01:02
42. He put spurs to Gringolet... - 01:23
43. 'By God, what a desolate spot,'... - 01:15
44. Gawain called out then, loud and clear... - 01:28
45. 'Gawain,' said the Green Knight then... - 01:13
46. The gallant in green prepared himself... - 01:27
47. 'So have at it, by your faith...' - 01:22
48. Up, up swiftly went the axe... - 01:10
49. The knight stood back and rested on his axe... - 01:32
50. 'For that braided belt you wear...' - 01:41
51. But the other lord laughed and then said lightly... - 00:53
52. 'Truly, no,' Gawain said... - 01:03
53. 'But the belt,' said Gawain... - 01:27
54. 'In this green guise she sent me...' - 01:23
55. Our worthy knight went by wild ways... - 01:17
56. 'Behold, sir,' he said... - 01:47
