After the fall of Rome, the warlords
of England are brutally kept in line by the forces
of Irish King Donnchadh. One of these leaders, Lord
Marke seeks to unite the English tribes to form
one strong nation to rule itself. His greatest knight
is Tristan, whom Marke raised since he was orphaned
in an Irish attack that also took Marke's family.
With Tristan by his side, Marke believes he can
unify his people and rid England of Irish rule.
But Tristan harbors a terrible secret.
Wounded and left for dead after battle, he is nursed
back to health by Isolde, a mysterious Irish beauty
who hides him from her father, King Donnchadh's,
forces and brings him back to life. But their passionate
affair is cut short when Tristan must return to
England, not knowing if he will see Isolde again.
Still seeking to throw the English tribes back into
chaos, King Donnchadh gives away his daughter as
the prize in a tournament between all the champions
of England. Tristan wins the princess' hand for
Lord Marke, whose vision of a united England may
finally be realized. Tristan is horrified to see
that the woman he has won for his Lord, the woman
whom Marke will marry, is his Irish savior Isolde.
Worse, Marke is a good and worthy future king, whose
belief in Tristan has made the young knight who
he is.
First separated by countries at war, and now by
loyalty to King and country, Tristan and Isolde
must suppress their emotions for the sake of peace
and the future of England. But the more they deny
their passion, the more fiercely it burns. Despite
their efforts to stay apart, Tristan and Isolde
are driven inexorably together, risking everything
for one last moment in each other's arms. |
