SIR TRISTAN

About Me


Myspace Layouts / Myspace Backgrounds / Background Image Uploader
Sir Tristan, whose name means "sorrow", was so called because of his mother's death at his own birth. Tristan was a noble knight with all the necessary skills of hunting, jousting, dancing, and harp playing. Tristan is now remembered for his love affair with Isolde.. His uncle, King Mark of Cornwall, sent Tristan to Ireland to escort the beautiful Isolde back to Cornwall to marry King Mark. On the voyage back to England, Tristan and Isolde drank a love potion mistakenly believing hat it was wine. This potion, which had been meant to enhance the marriage of Mark and Isolde, instead bound Tristran and Isolde inextricably and tragically in love.

The Emblem of the Knights The emblem of the Knights of the Round Table worn round the necks of all the Knights was given to them by King Arthur as part of the ceremony of their being made a knight.The Order's dominant idea was the love of God, men, and noble deeds.The cross in the emblem was to remind them that they were to live pure and stainless lives, to stive after perfection and thus attain the Holy Grail. The Red Dragon of King Arthur represented their allegiance to the King. The Round Table was illustrative of the Eternity of God, the equality, unity, and comradeship of the Order, and singleness of purpose of all the Knights.
