there was a spot for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot:

RAGNELLE

In the forest Sir Gawain encounters an ugly hag on a fine horse, who claims to know the king’s problem and offers to give him the answer to this question that will save his life, on one condition. That she is allowed to marry Sir Gawain. Gawain selflessly consents in order to save his uncle. Later, the new pair retire to the bedroom. After brief hesitation, Gawain assents to treat his new bride as he would if she were desirable, and go to bed with her as a dutiful husband is expected to do. When he looks up, he is astonished to see the most beautiful woman he has ever seen standing before him. She explains she had been under a spell to look like a hag until a good knight married her; now her looks will be restored half the day. She gives him the choice to have her beautiful at night, when they are together, or during the day, when they are with others. Instead, he gives her the sovereynté to make the choice herself. This answer lifts the curse for good, and Ragnelle’s beauty returns permanently.
