The Pursuit of Tristan and Iseult
The third part of the Epic Cornish Romance of Tristan and Isolde, which I have called "The pursuit of Tristan and Iseult"
The first part, "The Morholt out of Ireland" which I told on this channel over a year ago, can be found here:
th-cam.com/video/cTF0Dl4GH74/w-d-xo.html
Tristan and Iseult (or Tristram and Isolde) is a medieval chivalric romance of a similar courtly tradition of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table.
Like those stories, the story of Tristan and Isolde comes in many versions and is most likely based on earlier Celtic folklore in the oral storytelling tradition. It features love potions, battles with giants and dragons, Irish magic, pirates and witches and a tragic end.
The tale has parallels in the Welsh Mabinogion as well as the Irish myth in the Finn cycle, 'the pursuit of Diarmuid and Grania'.
It also has parallels with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as well as Pyramus and Thisbe.
It comes in many versions, by Thomas of Britain and Joseph Béroul in the 13th Century, to Richard Wagner's opera, to a great version by storyteller Martin Shaw, which I borrow from a little here.

    The part that stayed strongest with me - "Bread is a matter of life and death! If you can't look after your own, do you expect me to do it for you?" This has so much in it. Themes of codependence and interdependence, kind acts becoming doormats to walk over, lessons in standing up to tyrants, watching closely for body language rather than words, and the wisdom behind seemingly stupid hands. Thank you so much for the story. Beautifully told.

    Parliamentarians cut down the tree to symbolise the end of monarchy, so it wouldn't surprise me if communists cut down the tree as their God is government, and with WEF (World Economic Forum) round the corner they probably saw it as symbolistic of an end to national governance. Perhaps, but it can't of been fundamentalist Christians because as you say, it's entwined with Christian mythos., I don't know though. The famous oak up on Hadrian's wall was also cut down and it reminded me of when commies tear down old buildings in order to disconnect the remaining populace of their past in order to recreate a new and dismal future. Russian and Chinese history is full of this. No matter who did it or why, I agree with you they deserve a great punishment for cutting down what is not just a tree but a piece of our collective history. Excellent video, cheers!
