just-callmelee:Okay so I’ve been on a bit of a Arthurian lore kick lately. And you know who’s badass?Dame Ragnelle.Who’s Ragnelle? Sir Gawaine’s wife, which is pretty awesome because well Gawaine is pretty awesome. But the best part about their marriage and elevates Ragnelle to true BAMF status is that she wasn’t even beautiful when they married. She was like a hag(some kind of spell) and King Arthur had to answer this riddle ‘What do women truly want?’ and Ragnelle (who remember is a hag) was like ‘I’ll tell you if you let me marry Sir Gawaine’. And Gawaine is down with that because well he’s a knight and Arthur is his king. And the answer Ragnelle gives Arthur is that what women really want is the right to make their own decisions.Which is also how her spell gets broken when Gawaine grants her the right to choose which part of the day she will be in hag form and which part she’ll be in lovely lady form. (Which also kudos to Gawain for doing that instead of being a sexist twit which was kinda popular at the time lets be real).Also she has this brother who’s trying to regain his family’s property or something while Ragnelle just uses her wits to marry up socially because BAMF. -- source link
