Western Europe. The French [Upon learning of her husband's death, Tristan Blanchefleur's mother died after the birth of a son.

T. doesn't know about this and pretends to be a merchant. Tristan's teacher finds him, tells him and Mark about their relationship. T. conquers his country from his enemies, gives it to his tutor, and returns to Mark himself. Each year, Mark must send 300 young men and women as a tribute to the King of Ireland, who is married to the giant Morolt's sister (M.). M. arrives and challenges a daredevil to a fight. T. goes with M. to a lonely island, kills M. At the same time, it breaks the sword against his skull and leaves a point in it. The people welcome the winner, but T.'s wounds don't heal and give off a stench. T. asks to put him on a lonely ship, give him a harp and let him go to sea. The ship is coming to Ireland. The Queen's daughter Isolde, golden-haired, has healed him. Realizing that he is in Ireland, T. runs home. Mark is going to appoint T. as his heir, but his enemies demand that Mark marry and appoint his future son as heir. Golden hair falls on Mark from the swallow's beak, and Mark expresses a desire to marry its owner. T. remembers golden-haired I., goes after her. At this time, Ireland is devastated by a dragon, the king promises to marry I. to whoever defeats the monster. T. does this, but the evil and ugly court pretends to be the winner. I. finds out the truth, heals T. again from his wounds, but when he sees his broken sword, he realizes that he killed her Uncle M., rushes at T. He explains that he wants to marry her not for himself, but for Mark. I. agrees. Y.'s mother gives her daughter a love drink goodbye, which she must drink with Mark. On the ship, I. mistakenly drinks a drink with T. Arriving at the king, I. sends Brangien's maid to Mark's chambers instead of himself. Fearing that the fraud will be revealed, she hires thieves to kill B. That makes me feel sorry for her. When I. begins to repent of his evil act, they bring B. alive. Meetings between T. and I. take place near a pine tree on the bank of the stream (T. throws objects that serve as symbols for I. into the waters of the stream). The evil hunchback informs Mark about I. He is going to burn his lovers at the stake. T. runs by jumping from a high tower. Lepers ask Mark not to burn I., but to marry her. Mark agrees, but T. beats and leads I. T. and I. live in the forest, and T. can imitate the voices of birds. Lovers are found first by dog T., and then by King Mark. Mark leaves his gloves next to them and puts them between the sleepers. Then T. and I. decide to break up. T. gives I. a dog, and that dog gives him a ring with a jewel. I. returns to Mark and must prove his purity at God's judgment. T. takes the form of an old beggar and carries her across the river in front of everyone's eyes. I. swears that no one but this beggar and Mark held her in his arms. The veracity of her words is confirmed by a hot iron test that does not harm her. Her meetings with T. continue. By summoning I., T. imitates the voices of birds. T. goes to Gaul. After defeating the giant, he receives from the local king a magical dog that helps him forget all sorrows. He travels, conquers a country and is rewarded with a woman who is also named I., but with the epithet Belarusian (IS). However, he doesn't live with her. When hunting, information security wades across the river and tells her brother that the water that soaked her legs is bolder than T. The brother is insulted and wants to fight with T., but he asks permission to see I. T. comes to her disguised as a beggar, but I., who believes that T. has cheated on her, orders him to be expelled. T. goes crazy out of grief, changes his voice and appearance again, and comes to I. Now she can't recognize him anymore. But his old dog will recognize him. I. believes that T. is in front of her when he shows her ring. Their meetings continue, then T. goes back to information security and slowly dies there. He sends I. She leaves Mark, sails on a white sail ship. BI tells T. that the sail is black, which means that the golden-haired I. cheated on him. I. finds T. dead and dies of grief herself.
