<P> In the film , King Arthur ( Graham Chapman ) , accompanied by his trusty squire Patsy ( Terry Gilliam ) , is travelling through a forest when he enters a clearing and observes a fight taking place between a Black Knight ( John Cleese ) and a Green one ( also played by Gilliam ) by a bridge over a small stream . As he watches , the Black Knight defeats the Green one by throwing his sword straight through the eye slot of the Green Knight 's great helm ( during Arthur 's battle with the Black Knight , the Green Knight 's body can be seen in a ditch beside the area ) . </P>
