  • @antechrist Cedric challenged Tristan when Tristan looked at him so he did not break the rule cerdic did

  • I have Tristan's hair cut, now that's a REAL TRIBUTE!!!

  • @davidadvertising orly well my name is tristan HO YEAH

  • He fell, but he never bowed. He is diffidently my favorite.

  • Comment removed

  • my name iz Tristan :D

  • the saddest death in the film and the best because it makes him emotionally, and that of Dagonet

  • This is Jdunnivan1 just on my new account I taught myself this song on Violin in a couple hours though I havent been able to post a video of it. I know for sure I will in soon!

  • If you look carefully,Tristram is wounded 4 times,so he has no strength left in the end.First he's hit in the back of his right leg,then the left side of his head,under his right arm,then in the left side. Someone posted on another video for Tristram that he just quit.Well,..I'm sure anyone would if they had been fighting a while before he even got wounded. I think he was made as our favorite,to kill off so we would be really mad!!(and I was!)

  • A tribute just for me. How nice

  • @nazi30215 fool

  • My name is Tristan! I was the best football player out of the family and best out of my school with my position. I got my career ended because of a back injury. Anyone find that kind of wierd?

  • Herr Mannelig...Herr Mannellig!!

  • @Jdunnivan1 Herr Mannelig - Haggard

  • Tristan is danish!!

  • Still I can´t get how they could let him die - he was too good to be killed by this ....hmph! Oh, I know why they did this - he would be far better than Arthur. Hate this.

  • @nazi30215 lol

  • that was bad ass! thanks!

  • WHY DO THE MOST AWESOME, COOLEST AND MOST HONORABLE CHARACTERS ALWAYS GET KILLED. IT'S LIKE THE DIRECTOR'S KNOW THAT PEOPLE WILL THINK A CHARACTER IS AWESOME AND THEN THEY KILL HIM/HER OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sarmatians my people !!!Ossetians -Alans -Sarmatians - scythians!!!!!!my ancestors!!! Arians with honor to battle!!That is why Ossetians have more heros than other natioans in Russia !!!

  • Sarmatians my people !!!Ossetians -Alans -Sarmatians - scythians!!!!!!my ancestors!!! Arians with honor to battle!!

  • tristan the unsung hero. simply epic

  • TRISTAN should've lived 4ever!!

  • yeah tristan

  • he's a true hero

  • my favourite video on youtube!

  • I want his Falchion.

  • tristan is a fkn ninja! pardon me for using language but he's just awesome

  • as we call it the music? "

  • tristan i love you!!!1

  • Tristan was badass! I think they killed him in the movie because he was clearly the most popular and it made quite an impact on the audience. Even in death he was cool!

  • why did i have tew die :P my names Tristan lol Sir Tristan best of all the knights of the round table

  • Tristan was so beast. he should have lived. because he was so beast.

  • Wonderfully done, excellent song choice and I simply must agree that Tristan as well as the other knights should not have died. I suppose they were trying to be realistic.... unfortunately for us. Good work =)

  • Loving the black and white in the video, even it it did add to the air of death & sadness. Great tribute though, loved the switch to colour as the music built- Tristan deserves more recognition like this! =]

  • awesome carcter in movie i highly respect him cuz hi show our anciend kazakhs ancestors in King Arthur, curved swor, eagle, and his hat, best realization of nomads of Scythia (sarmatia)

  • I love the song. Oh my goodness.

  • if u watch cerdic in the fight against tristan u can watch he puls a knife so when tristan defends of the atacks of cerdic sword cerdic would attack him whith the knife... ad before tristran is killed u can see the knife stabed in his arm.

    that shure is a coward way to fight

  • @lordaeron115 as soon as he got cut the first time under the arm that was it for Tristan. It seemed like it threw him off, he never recovered. I hate that part. Another movie in which my favorite character has to die.

  • @lordaeron115 There is no such thing as a coward way to fight. Only victory counts.

  • @theviking93 not in those times, honor was a very important thing in battle, fight with honor, die with honor, respect your enemy... those things doesn't exists anymore

  • Anyone noticed that Tristan has a mongolian style bow???

  • @starsword001 It's a Sarmatian Bow, they're similar but the Mongolian bow has a more extreme curve.

  • @starsword001 And the armour!

  • you didn't notice that cedric and tristan fought the same way the used the same tecnique thats why tristan die but he die whit alot of honor

    cedric give him his sword back when he could cut his head off and tristan fought to the last minute

  • he was the only one with any real talent....all the others were just scrappers.. only reason he didnt win is cuz he doesnt cheat like arthur

  • in the real king arthur tristan didnt die...

  • Tristan is up there with Marv as one of the best characters in a movie...this guy was badass.

  • tristan is badass love his character sux he died in the movie tho

  • Tristan is a specific type of barbaric warrior who is possessed by a unique aura of greatness!!..

  • Fuk this character was cool! looking at him you see he has that aura of a barbarian that comes of naturally, your looking at a warrior from the old world 450 a.d. -till infinity(the guy that played cerdic the chieftain good job too made it ruthless)

  • Fuking Madds killed it with this character the sarmatian barbarian fuking wicked!

  • What can i said for the lost of this HERO!! Is.. that the hawks are cry high up to the sky and even the stones have been cracked down to the earth when he died .Great work..!!

  • This is the best character in this movie, hands down

  • i moddled a Charicter in Dungions and Dragons after him

  • so sad that Tristan died and by his own sword aswell damn saxon bastard

  • sorry but Cerdic beat Tristan fairly

  • Correct. Bit off more then he could chew.

  • yea he did i not dismissing that i just saying its a shame tristan died by his own sword

  • by addressing another blade into the battle?

    its like kicking another guy in the nuts in a boxing match

  • Tristan should have survived because he is the best

  • Song: Herr Mannelig by Haggard

    see info ;)

  • Thank you very much :-)

  • Thank you very much :-)

  • Tristan should have survived...

  • tristan is my name

  • ok, but which is the name of the band who plays tristan is my name ?

  • Someone knows this wonderful song ?

  • Who said they get to the Britain? They were living on east and Roman Empire just get to them... As movie says it was terrain of Sarmatia. A bi for on the east, don't you think?

  • If history states that king arthur was around the 5th century, that puts him nearly 700 or so years before the mongols even invaded europe...having said that, the mongols did not reach britian or western europe in general...they fought the poles, russians,germans but had no contact whatsoeva with brittania or those regions.....im not sure why im arguing here......i guess the character of tristan was cool.....european soldiers in general were not known for chilvary like the arabs or muslims

  • hi runningredhead

    that can be a possibility, but firstly, he does not have mongoloid features, and secondly,mongols never served in european armies to my knowledge......the idea of european-mongoloid warrior never existed in history....your either mongoloid or european

  • Mongols were in Europe, but I don't know if it was in that time. I'm sure that was in medieval.

  • I am sorry for the misunderstanding, i was in no way saying he was a mongol and a european, I was describing the people that he came from by their parts and heritage. The tartaric peoples were more european in features, but mongol like in culture. That is all i meant.

  • no worries......all good.History back in the middle ages was really interesting.....most empires or dynasties were evenly matched and it was like every race or tribe was testing its strenght against others........

  • πολύ καλό τραγούδι τον συμπαθώ πολύ συμπαθητική θέση

  • tristans character is based on a arabian knight theme......medievil arabs all grew beards, had long hair, used curved swords known as scimitars and used birds of prey for hunting..........western people hate us yet love basing their themes around our people.......

  • Tristan is more closely based on a Tartaric or Hun like character than an arabian, a more European Mongoloid warrior from the steppes.

  • great video, and great song!!

    I buy Haggard cd after watching this video...

    His sword is similar a dao, the sarmatians wandered westwards over the eurasian steppe extending from China to Hungarian Plain, as well might be a oriental sword.

  • Sarmatians are iranians , but his sword looks like a scimiter.

  • a swedish actor killing a danish actor.... HMM

  • .... That sword... is a Sarracen sword I think, neh?

  • his armor and his weapon looks not europian

  • His armor and weaponry is from Japan

  • haha nevermind i just took another look, not from japan =] sorry

  • a japanese in europ with king arthur xD

    ja maybe he was a hun or mongolian

    but realy it looks a little bit japanese :)

  • Haha i though his sword was a Katana xD but then i gave it another look. His armor in the final fight looks like samurai armor though. I think Hun would be a good guess haha

  • how funny is it also, when there in the bar and there throwing knifes at the chair and tristan throws his knife like into the other guys knife handle, there like how you do that hes like" I aim for the middle" lol

    best character in the movie

  • yeah man you're right lol

  • lol one of my favorite parts in tha movie

    and my favorite charater too

  • he is the best, he woulda won that fight with the leader i cant think of his name, if he didnt have that dagger

    he had the most skill, not just slashing everywhere

  • he was my favorite knight too. this music is kind of fitting for him, don't you think? i like it. thanks for posting.

  • the only thing i'm sorry for is he didn't put out a good fight against the saxon king

  • Tristan is my favorite knight from the film...I was soooo sad when he died....but I guess his death made him more memorable...

  • wot was his backround where was he from?

  • It always felt to me like Tristan was from some other far cooler universe than the others, and was just tagging along for the ride. Like the rest were kids and he's a grown-up, lol.

  • that actualyy makes sense... (I love your comment)

  • He is dressed like a mongol warrior ... 0.o

    They don't know how to use a sword , they are good whit bow's. ;/

  • He is good with bow ;)

  • My favourite Knight from the film. His fighting style is so graceful almost as if its a dance and the way he fought right until the end was just great, even the Saxon at the End recognised him as an honourable opponent and kicked his sword back to him...

  • Took the words right outta my mouth. :]

  • Tristan is the best WARRIOR!

  • Tristan is my favorite knight.I'm sad cause he died at the end! :-(

  • In the theatrical version Tristan looked weaker. because in the DVD extended, Tristan wounded the leader. but was defeated, because of a hidden knife, on both his arms. during his defensive advance. in hindsight, he made it possible for Arthur to win. Tristan is indeed the better knight compared to Arthur. he is on par with Lancelot. btw excellent vid!

  • Is that why Tristan died and Arthur lived? Some thing to ponder!

  • Yes indeed ^^ you should check it out. it's even better on DVD, the fight makes more sense. Tristan is the best knight, my personal favorite. this song really goes well with the scenes.

  • I have watched the movie. About one thousand seven hundred times. =O Give or take a couple. I love that movie. Tristan is my favorite one. Naturally. I still believe Arthur was a better fighter, though. Which would explain why he was the leader.

  • Tristan made that film work for me. I still think he could take Arthur, because even though Artorious won against the saxon, was it not Tristan who wounded him? besides if they continued to fight fairly. Tris would of won. saxon knew this, because they were on par in styles. but obviously knew he was in trouble, hence the need to resort to using a hidden blade, a leader is a leader. a swordsman is a swordsman, Arthur was the leader because of his roman background and diplomatic skills.

  • Nah, Tristan had no chance. He didn't respect the first rule of medieval movies : the good leader takes on the evil leader, any other matchup leads to death of the lower character.

    Seriously though, they were not on par. Even before the dagger strike, he was losing ground.

    I, too, liked Tristan more than the other knights, but I was fully aware, the first time I saw it, that he was running to his death when he faced the saxon leader. But it fitted with the arrogance of the character.

  • if he was losing, then why did the saxon pull the blade??

  • He pulled the because he had an opportunity to win with it. There is no such thing as cheating in battle.

    A good soldier uses his tools in due time and that's what the brute did.

  • ok so Cynric shooting Lancelot with the crossbow is fair?

  • Tristan was great, yes. Arthur would dominate him in a fight, though. Tristan did wound him, yes. Fight fairly? Fair does not exist. All that exist in a battle is the kill. The protection of your life. A hidden blade is not cheating. Perhaps Tristan should have become accustomed to that battle tactic, yes?

  • thank you!

    And aurthur basically cheated against the saxon cuz he pretended to give up lol... PUSSY

  • I still prefer Tristan, but Arthur wasn't better. he was good, but he didn't have that blood lust like Tristan did. diplomacy has no place on a battlefield.

  • i was always think he should have lived, but he died nobly.

    But i always think when he took that dagger out of his arm and wounded his leg, he should've aimed for the balls!

  • Yes, Tristan was the best warrior.

    Of that I have no doubt.

    But, Arthur was tougher.

    The reason I say this is because Tristan was killed by that guy and Arthur killed the guy that killed Tristan.

    Understand?

    =O

  • True story.. But..

    Setting his bird free before the big battle, removing his hat/helmet before he fought him showed that he was aware that he would die.

    That being said, the main point of him getting killed was to weaken him so Arthur COULD kill him.

    Another thing I would like to add.

    Tristan received more wounds/cuts than Arthur during his fight with the Saxon leader, including his dagger through his arm. Yet he still made another move after that.

    I'd say Tristan was fairly tough.

  • yeah and when he looks up in the sky seing his bird fly away, then he knows hes finaly free!=)

  • he was the best warrior of them

    can't believe he died because i think he was even tougher than arthur

  • 10 fold better than any knight

  • Love this video! I could watch it over and over! Much easier than trying to watch all the great Tristan clips from the whole movie! Thanks for putting this together for all the Tristan/Mads fan out there!

  • Its an absolutely brilliant video..i love the music and the clips are fab :D thanks

  • I started watching this movie for Clive and Ioan...and then I saw him. Holy Cow! Tristan....sigh

  • Me too! There is just something about him! He's awesome!

  • LOVE IT :D

  • very NICE!!!!!

  • tristan was far the best swordsman athur had. And he was good with the bow to.

  • 1:35 awesome

  • Tristan, Lancelot, and Dagonet were the best and they all died! It was sad when they died and it was even more sad when that Saxon killed Tristan with his own sword :'(

  • tristan was by far the best out of all the knights

  • My name is Tristen :D

  • Hey,

    I really love this. Best tribute I ever seen.

    God may be with you.

  • I think I have become addicted to this vid! The more I watch it the more I love it - thanks kdP.

  • Tristan is my favorite character in this movie and I have seen this movie over 20 times no lie. He is the best archer out of them all and has the best balance in this sword fighting, he is also there best scout. How many bests is he? Every one if you ask me. He went into battle with the leader Saxson knowing he was going to die just so when Arthur fought him he would not lose. He as the most honor for Arthur giving his life for Arthur's. Tristan just is Epic win.

  • true cuz if u noticed tristan injured the saxon so he wasnt full force against arthur cuz of that leg wound. also tristan had to fight against sword and a knife whereas arthur only had to deal with a sword. tristan may hav had better luck if someone else had stabbed the saxon in the leg before his fight with him too

  • Tristan Rulessss!!!!

    o nome da música é Herr Mannelig na versão da banda Haggard

  • I hated to see him die, but the character had to be killed off-- there wouldn't have been a place in Arthur's peaceful (or /less/ war-stricken) kingdom for a bloodthirsty warrior like Tristram. The moment he cast off his helmet it was clear he'd entered that fight to die a noble death on the battlefield-- the kind of death he speaks of as an ideal in Frank Thompson's novelisation of this version of the story.

  • Interesting - do you think he knows he's going to die or, like Cerdic, he has found a man worth killing? Met his match perhaps? Brilliantly portrayed, Tristan's character has stolen the entire movie in my opinion...perhaps thats why they killed him off!!

    Excellent vid, and a great song - thanks.

  • Met his match I think is a yes-- he wanted an honourable death and he found it, went down fighting but probably gladly. Another hint that he doesn't plan on coming out of this battle is the fact that he gives his hawk 'freedom' beforehand. Haha, I agree-- he nabbed every scene he was in.

  • Look closely at his face at 2:39, he knows hes gonna lose and die, but carries on fighting, like a true hero should.

  • Tristan, great warrior, the sort of guy you could give a knife and point to the saxons and say "Kill 10 for your freedom"

    He'd kill 50 and than say "Keep your freedom"

  • True xD. Tristan = Epic Win! Mads Mikkelsen = More Epic Win!! :D

  • LOL.

    Great comment.

    I'll second that. ( ;

  • Since I watched this, Mads has been my hero. He plays Tristan so well, and Tristans character is just so awesome. Mads rules!

  • i fckin love him hes fighting so balanced a damn good archer aswell!

  • na na na na strenght and honor!!!cool music and video is nice:)

  • Tristan is the wisest of all and some kind of samurai style in his fighting.. thats Awesome :D Seen all king arthur movie versions :D

  • What song is it?

  • This movie is really awesome!

    my favourite on youtube

    I watched it almost a 100 times I think!

    Can someone give me a link where i can download this version of the song for free?

    greetz

    Laurens

  • tristan is excelent

  • Tristan RULES

  • Just love Mads Mikkelsen...hes Denmark´s greatest actors! Hail To You Määäds! hehe.

  • Love this vid, such a great tribute to such a great character. His sword form is brilliant, a block and a strike, simply beautiful to watch. He should never have died. That damn Saxon cheated! Anyway, thanks for making =D

  • Tristan!:D

  • the song is: Herr Mannelig by Haggard

  • What's the song name? Ah... Tristan is the best

  • Tristan was the best in the movie!♥

    Why must he die?!

  • I love this video. It's perfect for Tristan, my favorite character. He was a great warrior, brave, loyal, and skilled.

    I also love this song, and can't stop listening to it. But I haven't been able to find it on iTunes. Is there a place I can download it (preferably legally)?

  • I agree, Tristan's first swordfight kicks ass! I love the shape of his sword, thinking about getting a replica:)

  • i like the death of lancelot/cyndic haha lancelot kills his killer

  • 1:45 my favorite moment in the whole movie...

  • tristan was a magnificent knight. if i were a knight back then i would have wanted to be his apprentice.

  • ...if he hadnt died. :[

  • tristan was my favorite...

    i didnt want him to die (but i thought he died an honorable death.)

  • Why did he have to die... such a brave and fearless warrior and a honourable man. Long live Tristram!

  • He was my fave by far

  • Tristan's the best ! He's so cool !
