The marriage of Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell is part of King Arthur and the Riddle.

The story of King Arthur, Sir Gawain, and the odious Lady Ragnell is told in this passage. One of the several King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table stories is this one. Stories to Grow by has altered it and is presenting it to you.

King Arthur and his warriors went hunting in Inglewood Forest one day. A deer suddenly moved into view in the distance. The monarch ordered, "Hold still, everyone. I'll stalk this buck myself." The monarch sneaked up on the deer while tossing his final arrow over his shoulder and holding his bow in one hand. The deer was then killed with a single shot. A towering person emerged from the shadows as the animal fell.

The voice of a powerful and great knight bellowed, "How good for me that we meet this way, with your arrow released from your hand." "King Arthur, you have wronged me for many years. It's time for me to quiet you down now."

"I face my old foe here in the woods with no weapon to defend me, murmured King Arthur, and he thought to himself. My soldiers, where are you?" The king instantly decided and replied, "It would not be honourable for you to kill me here when I am only dressed in my greens and you are armed. You will be shunned by every knight and your shame will never leave you. Anything you want, including land or gold, I'll give you in exchange for my life."

I have no desire for territory or riches, remarked Sir Gromer. "I shall, nevertheless, obtain my goal in a respectable manner. You have an opportunity to answer a puzzle, I promise. You must stand before me one year and one day from now, in these woods where you are, without any companions to accompany you and without a weapon. No man will protest if I kill you then if you are unable to figure out this puzzle. There won't be a war, though, if you successfully solve the puzzle. As I've said, you must promise on your honour that you'll be back in a year and a day."

Lo, I concur, the King replied. What is the conundrum?

"You must tell me what ladies want above all else," you said.

As the real king, King Arthur assured them, "I will return in a year and a day and provide you the solution you seek.

Sir Gromer then departed. When the King blew his bugle, his fellow hunters came upon him and the dead deer at his feet. They expected to find their monarch in good spirits, but instead, his comrades noticed weight in their king's face. They understood there must have been some sort of issue. But when they questioned him about the issue, he remained silent.

King Arthur didn't reveal the truth about what had happened until he spoke with his nephew, the kind knight Sir Gawain.

The young knight said, "Sir, be of good cheer," after hearing Sir Gromer's strange request clearly. "Let's get your horse ready. We will go to numerous nations as a group. Every man and woman will be questioned about the correct response wherever we go. We will eventually find it, I'm sure of it."

So, riding away, the king and his nephew Sir Gawain. They asked what it was that women wanted above all else everywhere. Everyone who responded was positive that their response was accurate, although the answers varied. Some claimed that women like to be well-adorned. Others claimed they desired a life devoid of ridicule. Some men claimed that women desire a husband who is powerful and attractive, while others claimed that they want a partner who won't contradict them. Thus, King Arthur and Sir Gawain gathered a variety of responses, but none appeared to fit. Since there was just one month left, they went back home to sort it all out.

King Arthur made the decision to go back to Ingleswood Forest in hopes that he could find some answers there. As evil a lady as King Arthur had ever seen galloped up to him as he was riding his royal horse through a woodland. She was wrapped in gold and several valuable stones, but they were unable to hide her red face, runny nose, excessively wide mouth, and dangling, yellow teeth. She was shaped like a barrel, with blurry eyes, and a lengthy neck.

She greeted King Arthur, "Good day. You can think whatever you want about me, but your life is in my hands.

What do you mean, the King asked.

"None of the explanations given to you will help you, the repulsive woman stated. Only I am aware of the right response. Sir King, just give me one item, and I'll tell you what it is. But if you don't, you'll have to deal with Sir Gromer, and you'll undoubtedly lose your mind."

Sir Gromer, do you know him?" said King Arthur.

The filthy woman responded, "He is well known. "He has boasted to many people that he has you under control. Sir Gromer is unaware of the fact that I alone have the solution you're looking for."

The King commanded, "Tell me the one thing you want from me." "If I can, I will grant it."

"Very nicely," she remarked. "I have my eye on a particular knight to marry. Sir Gawain is his name. Either I wed Sir Gawain, the knight, or you lose your head."

The king sighed, "Alas! Woe is me, that I should cause Gawain, my own loving nephew, to be married thusly! He exclaimed loudly, "So, lady, we must part ways. But please let me know what your name is before I leave."

I'm the Lady Ragnell, Sir King.

So they split apart. The King went back to his castle and discovered Sir Gawain, his nephew. Everything—all but the obnoxious lady's demand that Sir Gawain marry her—was revealed to him by the King. Instead, King Arthur declared that Lady Ragnell would divulge the information in exchange for the promise of a marriage.

Sir Gawain questioned, "Is that all?" "I shall then wed her a second time. You are my king and my liege, after all. I shall do everything I can to spare your life, my lord, or else I would be a big liar and coward."

The King rode quickly to Ingelwood Forest, to the location where he had previously visited the Lady Ragnell, on the promise of his nephew and since the next day was the exact day the King was to meet Sir Gromer in the woods. He was concerned, though, what if she wasn't there. Then the disgusting woman rode up to him. She was informed by the King that her request would be granted, and she might wed Sir Gawain the Knight. Tell me the solution to the puzzle now, please, my lady.

"Now that you know what ladies want above all else, Sir," Lady Ragnell replied. Some men claim that we want to be attractive, attract the attention of numerous guys, or have happy marriages. Therefore, these men are ignorant of the truth. To be free from external obligations and to live our lives as we see fit is what we want most of all. Sir King, you may now leave because your life is secure."

To the location where he had met Sir Gromer, the king rode as quickly as he could. He began by offering one of the responses he had previously received. Then there were more more after that. Sir Gromer shook his head gleefully at each of them.

"You are as good as dead, exclaimed Sir Gromer, "no, nay. Get ready to bleed."

King Arthur commanded Sir Gromer to disperse. "I only have one more answer,"

Sir Gromer responded, "Very good then, or else so help me, your death shall be upon you."

Now it's here, the king declared. Women want to be in charge of their own lives above everything else, according to this statement.

Sir Gromer yelled, "And who was it that informed you this?" "Certainly my sister, the Lady Ragnell, was there. May she smoulder like a fire! However, I must now let you go, so leave."

King Arthur hastily swung around his horse and said, "Farewell." Afterward, he sped over to the Lady Ragnell. For the wedding, he needs to return her to his castle. But the idea of having a public wedding with such a bride made him so uncomfortable that he told her the ceremony would take place in the morning, knowing there would be few guests or even none to attend and his nephew Sir Gawain would not have to endure the public embarrassment of marrying such a repulsive lady. But the Lady Ragnell forbade this.

She firmly retorted, "Nay, Sir King! Openly I must be married, with a large wedding feast served for dinner and lots of guests present.

When everyone gathered for the wedding feast following the wedding ceremony, the Lady Ragnell kept a close eye on her husband-to-be. Was she repulsive to him? Would he ignore her and turn away? Strangely, he didn't do this. The knight acted as though he loved his repulsive bride.

Later that evening, the Lady Ragnell remarked, "In our wedding chambers, "Now that we are married, Sir Gawain, kiss me. You know quite well that you wouldn't wait if I were young and attractive. Please do this right away, I beg you."

I will immediately do that and more, Sir Gawain declared. He turned quickly to kiss his bride but instead of the disgusting woman he had married, he saw the fairest being he had ever seen.

"Aye!" he exclaimed. "The magic behind this? What, you're a witch?"

I am your wife, that is certain," she affirmed.

Sir Gawain said, "Ah woman, then I must not be in my right mind." "Excuse me for saying this, but earlier today you were the most repulsive thing a guy ever saw. And it appears like no one is happier than I am to have you as my wife right now!" He then ran into her arms and showered her with kisses.

"Sir, you need to know more, she remarked as she briefly withdrew. Years ago, my evil brother, Sir Gromer, used enchantment to transform me. I can't continue to look the way you see me right now. You can decide. You must decide whether you want me to appear in my normal shape during the day and be terrible at night, as you are used to seeing me, or whether you want me to appear in both forms. The enchantment prevents it from being both. Which do you decide?"

"Gawain lamented that the decision was difficult. It would break my heart terribly to be with you at night as you are now but not anymore. But the nights would be extremely difficult if you were what you appear to be during the day. I must therefore leave it up to you to decide. As your husband, I will support whatever decision you make."

"Oh, gracious knight! I consider myself extremely fortunate that you ended up becoming my husband among all earthly knights because the wicked enchantment is now fully dispersed. Both during the day and at night, I may maintain my natural state. Because a husband could only give me the freedom to decide what I want for myself out of his own free will, it would be the only way to free me from Gromer's enchantment. And just now, Sir Knight, polite Gawain, you have achieved that goal. You have given me my most cherished desire as a woman—sovereignty. Knight Sir, kiss me!"

Sir Gawain responded, "Aye, that I'm happy to do!"

The Lady Ragnell was able to maintain her original shape day and night as a result, and she and Sir Gawain, the nephew of King Arthur, enjoyed a happy ending.
