Also known as
The Carle of Carlisle
, this popular Middle English romance narrates the adventures of Gawain in the court of the churlish and demanding Carl of Carlisle. The romance has certain formal and thematic similarities to
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
and can be seen as a text that celebrates chivalric adventure and marvel, as well as interrogating the virtues of courtesy and hospitality.
