What is the Irish Kings name in Tristan and Isolde?

What is his characters name or his real name....trying to settle argument....THANKS!!!!

What is the Irish Kings name in Tristan and Isolde?
King Mark, but he was Scottish not Irish if your talking about the opera by Richard Wagner.





If they mythical story....


The real Tristan may have been the Pictish prince, named Drust, the son of Talorc. Drust was believed to have lived in Scotland, in c. 780. Here, the story of Morholt, originated, with Drust saving a princess from pirates.





By the time story had reached south into Wales, Drust had evolved to Drystan, the son of Tallwch. The love triangle between King March, Essyllt (March's wife) and Drystan (the king's nephew) had been introduced along with the hero killing a dragon.











If your talking about that Russell Crowe movie....


After the fall of Rome, visionary warlord Marke (Rufus Sewell) seeks to unite the squabbling English tribes to form one strong nationand defeat brutal Irish King Donnchadh. But when Lord Marke's greatest and most loyal knight, Tristan (James Franco), falls in love with Isolde (Sophia Myles), a beautiful Irish woman, it threatens to destroy the fragile truce and ignite a war. In the spirit of Braveheart and A Knight's Tale, TRISTAN + ISOLDE is a rousing tale of trust and treachery that will leave you breathless!
Reply:Oh I love that movie! I borrowed it to my neighbor and thent hey moved! I don't remember his name, but I know exactly who you're talking about. Do a google search. Google knows all.
