一年以后，高文践约去寻找绿衣骑士，来到一座城堡。
城堡女主人趁丈夫外出狩猎耍尽花招引诱高文；高文不为所动。
最后高文在向导的陪同下离开城堡前往绿色教堂。
绿衣骑士原来就是城堡的男主人，他举斧向高文进攻三次，前两次落空，第三次在他的脖子上划出轻伤。
绿衣骑士向他解释：落空的两斧是对他两次不受女主人诱惑并如实交换所得之物的回报，第三斧则是对高文隐瞒女主人送他腰带的惩罚。
高文辞别绿衣骑士返回亚瑟王的宫廷，将自己的历险告诉众人，骑士们一致认为他为圆桌骑士争了光。
那根女主人送他的腰带成了纯洁的道德的象征。
《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》的题材属于亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的传说系列。
它以巨大的艺术表现力反映了骑士制度的理想，是中世纪封建贵族文化的精髓。
在艺术上，此诗语言优美含蓄，情节完整紧凑，人物性格细腻丰满，诗中对大自然的精确而富于魅力的描写尤为引人注目，代表了中古英格兰北部头韵体诗歌艺术的最高成就。
《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》长2,530行,被称为英语中最好的一部“亚瑟传奇”。
全诗分四部分。
第一部分按中古传奇传统，从特洛伊灭亡、埃涅阿斯流亡西土、布鲁特定居不列颠说起，引出亚瑟王。
亚瑟王在卡米洛和他的圆桌骑士正在庆祝15天的圣诞节，在元旦这一天忽然来了一个骑士，身躯高大，穿着绿色盔甲，骑一匹绿马，一手拿着一枝冬青，一手拿着一把板斧，向亚瑟的骑士挑战，看谁敢用斧子把他的头砍下，第二年元旦去受他一斧。
高文接受了挑战，砍下骑士的头，绿衣骑士拾起自己的头颅，叫高文第二年元旦到绿色教堂去找他，不准爽约。
第二部分写春夏秋过去，冬天到来，亚瑟设宴为高文送行。
