Text chosen: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, trans. Marie Barroff (1967)
In a description of the Green Knight character, the text reads, "Yet had he no helm, nor hauberk neither..." (line 203). Later in lines 268-271, the Green Knight tells King Arthur and his knights, " 'I have a hauberk at home, and a helm beside,/ a shield and a sharp spear, shining bright, / and other weapons to wield, I ween well, to boot, / But as I willed no war, I wore no metal.' "
