NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Cae the Courteous


A vassal of Queen Flúrant of Ireland (Flurent), Isolde’s mother in the Icelandic Saga af Tristram ok Ísodd.

He tried to claim credit from a dragon that Tristan slew in Sukstía mountain, which would have allowed him to marry Isolde. Queen Flúrant wanted to hang him for the lie, but Tristan convinced her to simply banish him from Ireland.

His character appears in Gottfried’s Tristan as an unnamed steward.
