Tristan - Come And Dance...

Video made spontaneously upon the flashes of pictures in my head when I heard the song. Very surprised myself.

Dance with him. If you dare.

The Prose Tristan by Thomas and Gottfried von Strassbourg is a retelling of the Welsh legend, but already in the older Welsh Trystan and Essyllt, Arthur is involved as a peacebroker between Trystan and king Mark.

As for Tristram, this is merely another way of spelling Tristran. They didn't care much for spelling canons in the middle ages.

Why do people keep trying to put Tristram up as Tristan,from the German poem about Tristan n Iseult?? Nowhere in the gilm did it give that referance. Oh,and just for the record,..I too fell flat in love with Tristram the second he came on the screen.The rest of the cast didnt have a chance.Too bad Jerry Bruckheimer doesnt read all these posts.He'd make the movie Tristram Returns for real! LOL! Id watch it in a heartbeat!

@ChimeraAZ People don't 'try setting them up' - they are in fact the same guy. Read up on Arthurian tradition or ask any scholar who has studied the subject (such as, in all modesty, me). The original Welsh Trystan originally probably had his own cycle of legends, but became quickly attached to the Arthurian universe. The whole reason there is a Sir Tristan/Tristram/Trystan/Drust­an whatever in the Arthurian universe, in fact IS this attachment.

Good work!!

Wich film is it from? :)

[Yseulte]

It is from the otherwise rather bad 'King Arthur' movie. Tristran is so awesome he transcends that movie though.

[PassivePassion]

I just saw this movie, and had chosen Lancelot as my guy for the film, but the FREAKING SECOND that Tristan appeared on screen, I screamed and fell in love with him. Sigh....

[ali0tis]

Agreed, it's a Mads Mads world. Thanks for posting the knife throwing scene!

[ChimeraAZ]

Oh,and I really do love your Tristan videos.

[ChimeraAZ]

The Tristan n Iseult epic poems were actually older than Arthur,as was stated here below.I dont believe that Bruckheimer intended there to be that connection,really.Just in my opinion.Or,he would have at least made mention of her,or something about the King he stole her from.Lol.Just my own opinion. :)

(this is fun,taging you,Yseult.HeeHee.

@thatguyyousaw01 Over the course he has been spelt Drust, Drustan, Trystan, Tristrant, Tristan, Tristram, Tistrant and probably other ways too. Dark Age and Medieval spelling wasn't what you would call an exact art.

[Yseulte]

@blackherring Yep, I know. Always felt though, that Chevalier de la Charrette was the normannization of the welsh Trystan cycle. But that's colonzation for ya.
