Lynette and Lyonesse
In the Arthurian legend, Lynette (alternatively known as ''Linnet'', ''Linette'', ''Lynet'', or ''Lyonet'') is a haughty noble lady who travels to King Arthur's court seeking help for her beautiful sister Lyonesse (also ''Linesse'', ''Lionesse'', ''Lyonorr'' and other names), whose lands are besieged by the Red Knight of the Red Lands.
==Lynette and Lyonesse in Malory==
The sisters are most famously depicted in Thomas Malory's ''Le Morte d'Arthur''. In ''Book IV: “The Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney”'', Dame Lynette comes to court asking for assistance against the Red Knight of the Red Lands. Since Lynette refuses to reveal her name for reasons which are not explained, she is presented with a kitchen servant instead of a champion. He says his name is Beaumains, but he is really Gareth of Orkney in disguise. On their journey, the pair encounters the Black, Green, Red, and Blue knights and the Red knight of the Red Lands. Gareth kills the Black Knight, incorporates the others into Arthur’s court, and rescues Lynette's sister Lyonesse. Lustily in love with Lyonesse, Gareth conspires to consummate their relationship before marrying. Only by the magical intervention of Lynette is their tryst unsuccessful, thus preserving Gareth's virginity and, presumably, his standing with God. Gareth later counsels Lyonesse to report to King Arthur and pretend she doesn’t know where he is; instead, he tells her to announce a tournament of his knights against the Round Table. This allows Gareth to disguise himself and win honor by defeating his brother knights. The heralds eventually acknowledge that he is Sir Gareth right as he strikes down Sir Gawain, his brother. The book ends with Gareth rejoining his fellow knights and marrying Lyonesse. At court, Lynette falls in love with another of Gareth's brothers, Gaheris.
