Anguish of Ireland

Anguish of Ireland

King Anguish of Ireland is a mythological character in the stories of King Arthur. He is the father of Iseult, and one of Arthur's early enemies in the chronicles. After Arthur defeats him he acknowledges Arthur's supremacy, but later becomes embroiled in a conflict with King Mark of Cornwall. After Mark refuses to pay Anguish seven years back pay for his vassalage, Anguish sends out Sir Marhaus to get the pay from him. The story is part of the saga of Tristan and Iseult.
