Tristan Und Isolt

by Gottfried · 1210

+ Want to read

Tristan is raised at the court of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall, after his mother dies giving birth to him in a distant land. He grows into an accomplished knight, skilled in music and the hunt. A fight with an Irish champion leaves him wounded by a poisoned blade, and he sails to Ireland to seek healing. Disguised under another name, he is tended by the royal household, where the king's daughter Isolde is a gifted healer. Their meeting stirs feelings neither of them expects, and loyalty to Mark soon pulls against desire. The medieval tale is told in German verse.
