Note 1 — LXIV A tale told of the Court of Puy in Provence

Edward Storer translation

Messer Tristan of Cornwall loved Iseult the fair1, who was King Mark’s wife, and between them they fashioned a love signal in this wise: that when Messer Tristan wished to speak to her, he went to a garden of the king where there stood a fountain, and he muddied the water of the rivulet made by the fountain: which rivulet passed by the palace where the lady Iseult lived.
