Tristran

"Tristran and Iseult" is an Arthurian romance story. Several versions of this work exist from the 12th century when it enjoyed a period of popularity. Few versions older than the 12th century remain.

There are two main streams of versions of this tale - the courtly and the other. The courtly is about pure love and courtly ideals, while the other versions have more humorous incidents, and focus slightly more on sex than knightly love.
