Interesting.   I had never made this connection, I confess.

The Green man (or Green Knight) is a god figure that later became an
elf/fay/sidhe in Northern legend.  I am not at all sure that I see any
linkage with the character in TBOTNS: for example, he is never spoken of as
chained or imprisoned.
