DRYSTAN:
Welsh Arthurian legend name of a Knight
of the Round Table best remembered as the lover of
Esyllt (French: Tristan and Iseult).
But the earliest
texts hint at a character who was far more than just a
lover; he was a master of deception and had the ability
to shape-shift, a definite attribute of a trickster. In
the Cymric Trioedd, Esyllt is his uncle's wife;
with the help of the swineherd, Drystan arranges for a
secret tryst with her, but Arthur
shows up unexpectedly
wanting to steal some of his uncle's swine, and Drystan
somehow outwits the Forever King.
The name has been associated with Latin tristis
"sad," referring to the tragic fate of the
young "lover." It has been linked with
Pictish drust of unknown meaning, and Celtic drest,
"riot, tumult." The latter comes
closest to fitting his true character; compare with Old English þr�st/þríste:
"bold, daring, rash, audacious," and even
"shameless."
