In some versions of the legend, King Mark finds them together and stabs Tristian (perhaps a reverse version of the son defeating the father motif). Another version has Tristram marring Isolde; he later becomes wounded and sends for her; when the messenger finds her, she betrays him by telling him that he cannot be cured; he dies. In literature and art this charachter has been adopted by many writers, e.g.
