Hero’s companion in the Prose Tristan. A satiric but well meaning jokester who looks upon chivalry with skeptical amusement. He makes jests about combat, saying that cowards have the advantage of living. He also remarks about his inability to comprehend why, when so many lovely and willing ladies are readily available, knights seek the favor of snobbish princesses. However, he is sound of heart and proves a brave warrior when needed.

King of Ireland and father to Iseult, beloved of Tristan. Demanding tribute from Cornwall, Anguish sends his brother-in-law, Morholt, to enforce the tribute in single combat with the Cornish champion (Celtic tribes often settled disputes by a battle of champions rather than field combat. In fact, they extol it’s virtues in works such as the Tain bo Culainge). Accepting the challenge, Tristan slays Morhalt.
