Damosel Sauvage

Dameisele Sauvage

She informed Dame Laudine, in a letter, that King Arthur intended to bring his people to the marvelous spring in Broceliande Forest.

This was taken as a warning; Lunette used the information in urgin Laudine to replace her newly slain husband with his slayer, Ywaine. It sounds as if the Damosel Sauvage was a spy or at least a secret friend of Laudine's, though that might be reading too much into a simple explanation of how news spread in those days.

The Damosel Savage is another name for Malory's Lynette. It could be sort a sort of generic tag, like "the Red Knight", and so on. Or, assuming that Chrétien's Lunete became transmogrified into Malory's Lynette, someone might have misremembered to whom the name "Damosel Sauvage" actually applied.
