Gawaine

Life Long Punishment
Gawaine is given a life long punishment when he accidentally kills a lady. He is forced to wear the lady's head around his neck like a necklace and her body across a horse and walk back to Arthur's court. This makes Queen Guenever very infuriated and she gives him the punishment of serving all ladies for the rest of his life.

Banishment of Sir Uwaine
When Uwaine was banished from Arthur's court, Gawaine followed him because he said that whoever banishes my cousin banishes me. They come across 12 maidens who are spitting on a shield because it is Sir Marhaus's shield, and he is rude to women. Because of Gawaine's punishment, he rides off to pursue a battle with Sir Marhaus. However Sir Marhaus beats them, and says that he was accused by the 12 women. Then Uwaine, Gawaine, and Marhaus decide to travel together.

Fountain
At a fountain the three men find 3 women. Gawaine leaves with the youngest one. They see a knight who is ganged up on by 10 knights and the damsel tells Gawaine to go help. However he refuses because he doesn't want to be involved so the damsel leaves because he refuses to help.

Pelleas
Gawaine sleeps with the woman Pelleas is in love with. Pelleas catches them and when they wake up there is a sword to their necks. Pelleas hates Gawaine, and turns him into his own whipping boy for every tournament.
