Women of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: LynetteGAWAINWhy are you helping me? I am an enemy of your land.LYNETTEI know only that you needed my help and that you need it still.Lynette is one of the ladies in Lyonesse and she serves the Lady of Lyonesse. She is a kind and selfless woman and she seems to have always known of Gawain’s arrival as Lyonesse is a magical land outside time. When Gawain kills, in a misunderstanding, the lord of Lyonesse, Lynette gives him her ring to help him escape from prison and, later, throw him outside Lyonesse and back in his time and place. Gawain looks for her until he finds her frozen in a timeless Lyonesse, frozen as she was when she used the magical ring. He warms her by a fire and she comes to her senses, wandering in the woods and finding a green scarf (that the Green Knight left there) before being kidnapped by the Baron Fortinbras who wants her for himself. Her kidnapping nearly results in her death, in a burning tower under Gawain’s eyes, but Sir Bercilak, a misterious knight and rival of Fortinbras, saves her. Later Lynette will give Gawain the green scarf, feeling that such an item will help him and she will ride with him to face the Green Knight.Arthurian women in tv/movies -- source link
