Talk:Gingalain#Requested move 16 June 2025

What version is this bit about Bleoberis and King Mark in?--Cúchullain ^t/c 08:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

The wording seems to suggest this story may have inspired the other similar stories such as Percival and Le Cote Mal Taile, but that seems off given the dating. Is the article supposed to imply that? -- Guest 209.162.56.40 04:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

:It says it's related to those, and perhaps the source of some of them. It's not a source for Percival, but reflects a similar motif popular at the time.--Cúchullain ^t/c 21:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

The text says a Lion of Ermine, but the earlier illustration clearly shows a unicorn... Mastakos (talk) 21:33, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Fair Unknown is right now just redirect but is actually the subject if this article, while Gingalain on his own is barely even covered as a character, thus should be moved to the the list of Knights as a new section. Actually I may handle it all myself, just notify me on my talk page after you change the title of this article here. 94.246.147.217 (talk) 08:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)94.246.147.217 (talk) 09:11, 16 June 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. CoconutOctopus talk 12:39, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
