The fable of Ireland's most disreputable love triangle - Iseult Gillespie

Dig into the tragic myth of Tristan and Princess Isolde, and how they fall in love despite her being promised to another.--After witnessing a bird carrying a single golden hair, King Mark of Cornwall declared his future bride must have equally radiant locks. The only royal matching this description was Princess Isolde of Ireland. So the king sent Tristan, his bravest knight, to extend an olive branch to the royal family and deliver his proposal of marriage. Iseult Gillespie shares the tale of Tristan and Isolde.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Ciara Nolan, Paper Panther.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-tragic-romance-of-tristan-and-isolde-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-tragic-romance-of-tristan-and-isolde-iseult-gillespie/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.paperpanther.ie----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
