Background
THE END
#MYTHOLOGY SWAG :P
Sir Tristan, whose name means "sorrow", was so called because of his mother's death at his own birth. Tristan was a noble knight with all the necessary skills of hunting, jousting, dancing, and harp playing.
Tristan and Isolde
Tristan is now remembered for his love affair with Isolde. His uncle, King Mark of Cornwall, sent Tristan to Ireland to escort the beautiful Isolde back to Cornwall to marry King Mark. On the voyage back to England, Tristan and Isolde drank a love potion mistakenly believing that it was wine. This potion, which had been meant to enhance the marriage of Mark and Isolde, instead bound Tristan and Isolde inextricably and tragically in love.

Tristan, the young hero in The Romance of Tristan & Iseult, is the perfect epitome of the ideal chivalric knight. He first shows his valor by embracing his duty as a son to avenge his father—killing Duke Morgan and regaining his father’s lands. He does not shirk his filial responsibilities for his own safety but takes up his obligations willingly.
