Explanation:

In the legend of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", the plot revolves around the challenge posed by the 'green knight;' who had come to the court of King Arthur. He challenged the knights and nobles in the court to play a game where the challenger will give three blows on the Green Knight. In return, if the knight didn't die, he himself will give the same number of blows on the opponent in exactly a year.

Sir Gawain saw that no one is ready to accept the challenge of the Green Knight, and the King was offering himself for the game. So, he volunteered himself in place of the king. In doing this gesture, he is showing his loyalty to King Arthur. Moreover, he has his moral integrity to maintain as a knight to the king and also showed his bravery despite the level of danger involved. Chivalry is more important than one's life in the face of danger, especially when the king is involved. He could easily be beheaded and killed in the game but not thinking about that, he accepted the challenge in the king's place.
