Well a medieval romance work most commonly features a knights who demonstrates his loyalty, bravery and honor. It also includes a high esteem for women, courtly love, code of chivalry, some supernatural elements and a fairy tale like setting. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight possesses these traits as he we have Sir Gawain who fights an otherworldly adversary and the conflict between different values of chivalry and courtly love.
