The mediæval redactors of the Tristan legend must have been no less puzzled than its modern critics by the inconsistent versions of Kaherdin's humiliating experience as a lover of Isolt's maid. Was her name Brangain or Camille? Did she persist in remaining chaste or did she finally yield to her suitor? What was Isolt's rôle in the affair? And how long did the adventure last? The two sources which preserve this amusing tale for us—Eilhart and Thomas—answer these and other questions in different, even contradictory, ways.
