The Tristan story is among the oldest of the French Arthurian romances and is probably one of the most well-known in the modern world. It has generally been agreed that the extant versions of the Tristan romance have been derived from a lost French version of the story, now commonly known as the \u2018estoire\u2019, and dated to the middle of the twelfth century at the latest. There are two existing verse romances that are thought to have been closest to the original: the Middle High German version of Eilhart von Oberg thought to have been composed around 1170, and a French poem, written around the last decade of the twelfth century by Beroul, a poet of Normandy. Regrettably, the only surviving copy of Beroul\u2019s version is incomplete, a fragment from the middle of the poem. Historiography concludes that Eilhart\u2019s poem, which has survived in three twelfth-century fragmentary manuscripts, three fifteenth-century manuscripts, two of which are complete, and a prose version, corresponds for the most part to the version given by Beroul, although the latter does contain certain episodes not found in Eilhart\u2019s poem.
