Answer 2

Sorry I read it 4 years ago and I don't remember anyone but the main character! Tristan,Iseuld la blonde and Iseuld aux blanches mains (I read it in french) So sorry. I also remember that there was the king who was married to Iseult but I don't remember his name. So sorry!

Answer 3

I believe the question concerned the book “The Romance of Tristan and Iseult'' not the film “Tristan and Isolde.” I think this is the version she wants: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14244

I've arranged the characters approximately by a mixture of importance on the story and the order in which they appear.

Tristan: the hero, son of King Rivalen of Lyonesse and nephew to King Mark of Cornwall.

Iseult the Fair: the heroine, daughter of an unnamed King of Ireland. She marries King Mark of Cornwall but continues her love affair with Tristan.

Iseult of the White Hands: daughter of King Hoël of Brittany and brother of Keherdin. She becomes Tristan’s wife in the second part of the story.

Mark: King of Cornwall, uncle to Tristan and Andret, and husband to Iseult the Fair.

Governal: Tristan’s tutor as a boy, and his squire and companion when Tristan becomes a man.

Brangien: Iseult’s handmaid and later Keheydin’s lover. Perenis is her brother.

Perenis: Iseult's squire, Brangien’s brother.

Dinas of Lidan: seneschal of Cornwall. He is friendly to Tristan.

Andret: a nephew of King Mark and one of four barons who particularly hate Tristan.

Guenelon: one of four Cornish barons who particularly hate Tristan.

Gondoïne: one of four Cornish barons who partricularly hate Tristan,

Denoalen: one of four Cornish barons who particularly hate Tristan.

Frocin (Froggy) the Dwarf: a wise dwarf, gifted with prophetic powers, who aids Tristan’s enemies.

the Morholt: brother of the Queen of Ireland and the champion of Ireland. No-one knows today why he is always “the” Morholt. Presumably “Morholt” is supposed to be some sort of title, but no-one has identified it.

Ogrin: a hermit who reconciles Tristan and Iseult with King Mark.

Orri: a woodsman and friend to Tristan.

Gilain: a duke in Wales and the orginal owner of the fairy dog that Tristan wins for Iseult.

Kariado: a rich count who seeks Iseult of Cornwall’s love.

Hoël: King of Brittany, father of Iseult of the White Hands and of Keherdin.

Kaherdin: son of King Hoel of Brittany and Tristan’s companion in the second half of the story.

Riol: Count of Nantes and a rebel against his lord King Hoël. He seeks the hand of Hoël’s daughter Iseult.

Rivalen: King of Lyonesse (= Lothian?). Tristan’s father.

Blanchefleur: Queen of Lyonesse, sister to King Mark. Dies giving birth to Tristan.

Morgan: an enemy of King Rivalen.

Rohalt: King Rivalen’s marshal and Tristan's foster-father. Tristan makes him King of Lyonesse, preferring to remain a knight at Mark’s court to rusticating as king of what seems to be here a very small and unimportant kingdom.

Arthur: King of Britain. Apparently King Mark’s overlord.

Gawain: King Arthur’s nephew and champion. Appears in many other Arthurian tales.

Kay the Seneschal: King Arthur’s seneschal, noted for being over-proud and rude and harsh of tongue. Appears in many other Arthurian tales.

Girflet: A renowned knight of the Round Table. Appears in many other Arthurian tales.

Toothold: Tristan’s hunting hound. He has been taught to hunt without barking. The actual medieval French name is Hudain.
