 The couple live happily, and the court is overjoyed when they hear Ragnelle's story.Sadly, Ragnelle lives for only five more years, after which Gawain mourns her for the rest of his life.According to the poem, Ragnelle bore Gawain his son Gingalain, who is the hero of his own romance and whose arrival at King Arthur's court and subsequent adventures are related, possibly by Thomas Chestre, in the Middle English version of the story of "The Fair Unknown", or "Lybeaus Desconus"  (although in this and most other versions of the story, Gingalain's mother is a fay who raises him ignorant of his father).
