The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle
''The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle'' (''The Weddynge of Syr Gawen and Dame Ragnell'') is a 15th-century English poem, one of several versions of the "loathly lady" story popular during the Middle Ages. An earlier version of the story appears as "The Wyfe of Bayths Tale" ("The Wife of Bath's Tale") in Geoffrey Chaucer's ''The Canterbury Tales'',〔''The Canterbury Tales'', pp. 258–292.〕 and the later ballad "The Marriage of Sir Gawain" is essentially a retelling, though its relationship to the medieval poem is uncertain.〔Price, p. 310.〕 The author's name is not known, but similarities to ''Le Morte d'Arthur'' have led to the suggestion that the poem may have been written by Sir Thomas Malory.
==Text==
Stories about the Arthurian court were popular in medieval England, and the worn condition of some of the manuscripts suggests that they were well read. The Ragnelle narrative may have been intended for a festive or less than serious audience. Thomas Garbaty sees the poem as a humorous parody of the Arthurian legend, where Arthur is cowed by both the challenging knight and Ragnelle, "passing the buck" to Gawain.〔Garbaty, p. 418.〕 ''The Wedding of Sir Gawain'' survives in a poorly copied 16th-century manuscript located in the Bodleian Library (Bodleian 11951, formerly Rawlinson C.86) though it was probably written in the 15th century.〔Hahn, p. 44.〕〔Price, pp. 506–507.〕
