She is Blasine in the Prose Merlin and other "Merlin" texts. In still other texts, he is the husband of Belisent (Bellicent) [as in Vita Merlini], or of Morgan. Still others make him the father of Galachin by Morgause; or father of Gales(c)hin by Elaine. Nentres is considered to have been one of Uther's knights, before he rebelled against Arthur and then reconciled.

Certainly not in Chrétien, but the church does appear throughout the Vulgate cycle and limitedly in Post-Vulgate. Echoes can be seen in Henry Lovelich's History of the Holy Grail, Prose Merlin, and Malory (in both the Caxton and Winchester manuscripts).

There may be several temporal discrepancies, but the events themselves should be inclusive. All of these events are appropriate to mention. Unsure where to start, they always say "at the beginning", yet it is doubtful the epigram remains applicable in these matters. Perhaps the best place to begin is Eden, and its associations with other "paradisical" locations. There are those who have equated it with Atlantis. To others, it is Avalon. Some would firmly believe there is a kernel of truth in all of these tales. Eden had "Gates". Biblically, a total of Four Gates are mentioned. Their locations correspond to the cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West). Atlantis also had entrances (Gates). One has to travel, by boat, to reach Avalon (being somewhere West of Britain). If indeed Atlantis exited in the middle of the Atlantic ocean (West of Britain) near the Azores, then the Gates should be located at the "edges" of what was once a vast continent (which may have included parts of present-day land masses). Various stories, some more mythical than others, point to the discovery of at least one object that can be described as a "Gate".

Written in a Norman dialect, this work exists in several fragments that constitute 3,000 verses of a single manuscript now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. It contains what is perhaps the earliest and most basic version of the tragic Tristan and Isolde story. Although poorly written, sections of this poem are authored by different scribes. This is indeed the earliest representation of the so-called "common branch" of the legend (the "courtly branch" is represented by fragments from Thomas of Britain's poem). Eilhart von Oberge wrote a version of this story in German. Many of Béroul's episodes, that do not appear in Thomas' Tristrans, resurface in the Prose Tristan. The content of Béroul's poem differs from the modern concept of what a narrative poem should be. It has a disjointed plot and lacks a flow of cause and effect. Its characters are ill-defined. Nevertheless, Alan S Fedrick states this was commonplace of literature in Béroul's time.

Mary Dominica Legge claims the poem had its writing between 1155 and 1160 (perhaps for Eleanor of Aquitaine). This work is also known as Le Roman de Tristran(s) et Ysolt/Yseut (The Romance of Tristan and Isolde). It used an Anglo-Norman dialect. Robert Wace of Jersey had completed Roman de Brut, which seems, according to Mary D Legge, to have inspired several motives and narrative elements in Thomas' text. Historia Regum Britanniae could have influenced both Wace and Thomas. Legge states that Tristran resembles Le Lai du Chèvrefueille (The Lay of the Honeysuckle) by Marie de France. Either author could have taken from the other or both from a third unknown source. When Chrétien de Troyes wrote Cligès, he made sardonic references to the love concept developed by Thomas, which suggested Tristran was well known by that time. Thomas' version was impressive, as documented by the many manuscripts and by Gottfried von Strassburg's comment in the prologue to his Tristan, where he approves of Thomas for creating the true account of the love affair between Tristan and Isolde. Brother Robert of Norway mirrored Thomas' Tristran in his Trist(r)ams Saga ok Ísöndar (Saga of Tristan and Isolde).
