Anglo-Scandinavian form of Gamall. In literature, The Tale of Gamelyn is a romance written in c. 1350 in a dialect of Middle English, considered part of the Matter of England. Although The Tale of Gamelyn is included among Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in two early manuscripts, where it follows the unfinished Cook's Tale, modern scholars do not consider this to be written by Chaucer, although it is possible that he had included the character of Gamelyn among his papers, with the intention of rewriting it for a suitable character.
