William is without a doubt the most chivalrous knight of the two. William was brave and honorable in the fact that he wasn’t a cheat and always fought fair. When he jousted the black prince and the black prince was exhausted and couldn’t go again, William showed mercy and agreed to call it a draw. Before the match, William knew that he was about to joust the black prince yet he jousted him anyway while the others forfeited. At one point, William refused to leave town knowing he would be captured.

First Knight display some of the classical aspects of chivalry, with the most prominent aspect being loyalty as is demonstrated in the repeated use of the pledge that the Knights of the Round Table say to each other during initiation ceremonies and during crucial moments of the film, "Brother to brother. Yours in life and death." Lancelot is shown as a flawed man, but an incredibly masculine and chivalrous one and those qualities allow him to be redeemed of his affair with Guinevere and he gains the recognition from Arthur as the quintessential knight moments before Arthur's death, "My truest. My first knight." This is an accurate depiction of the Arthurian lore in the sense that Lancelot's chivalrous nature was enough to earn the forgiveness of Arthur because of Arthur's extremely chivalrous nature, but the rest of the characterizations of Lancelot are more reflective of modern chivalry.
In that time period the knights in both the films and the stories were tested for bravery, loyalty, and honesty. In Morte d'Arthur King Arthur had to battle the Green Knight, but one of the other kings, Gawain, rose up and said he will battle and take the journey to fight the Green Knight. In the film King Arthur fought the Black Knight and the Green Knight. In the film bravery was mocked because the Black Knight was losing and all of his limbs were getting ripped off, but where bravery is being mocked is how he never gave up and he kept fighting even though he had no limbs.

The Knight and Miller tale have similar characters which play very similar roles but with totally different personalities. The Knight's Tale is told by a famous person, and it is an historical romance which barely escapes a extremely sad ending (involves death or suffering). The Miller's Tale has a plot, but not themes. The Miller’s Tale is seen as a lower class point of view and it turns the knight’s idea of courtly love into a shorter, disgusting farce.
The knight symbolizes the wildness, fertility, and death that characterize a primeval world, whereas the court symbolizes an enclave of civilization within the wilderness. But, like the court, the Green Knight strongly advocates the values of the law and justice. And though his long hair suggests an untamed,

During the Medieval times chivalry was one of the most important characteristics a knight could display. Chivalry was viewed as a moral obligation that involved bravery, honor, respect, and gallantry. Knights were expected to uphold this code or face social consequences for any infractions, with punishments ranging from humiliation to termination of their knighthood. “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” presents the struggles knights faced with honoring the chivalrous code at all times. Sir Gawain, while imperfect, exhibits qualities expected of knights and embodies the internal struggle between honoring the chivalrous code and giving into selfish desires.
