No Chaucer involvement that I know of. The ballad, "The Marriage
of Sir Gawain" (Child #31) is given in a click-on text file on
my website, listed under the heading 'Old songs, poems, tunes'.
At the bottom of the text file is a click-on to the text of the
earlier prose version, "The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle",
given on another website.
