Does distaff sound a bit like “the staff?” And I believe you are correct unless anyone else knows better?

In the various King Arthur tales, did Sir Gawain have any children on the right side of the blanket?

I googled it just now, but it seems not? Didn't he have all of them with his various lovers?

Does the number of Sir Gawain's sons not vary depending on the sources most of which are works of the purest fiction?
Is there any mention of daughters? |

We could embellish his tale with daughters if you like by writing a new book?

Does anyone really know? The first stanzas suggest huge bravery and the last suggest cowardice, so which is it?

Aren't all knights human? Wouldn't we have heard about it if a knight was actually a cyborg?

Who was manufacturing cyborgs in the medieval period? Were they produced by aliens running sweatshops?

Wouldn't that depend on your definition of a cyborg? Could someone with a wooden leg be considered a cyborg?
