More Tragic than Isolde

A tale of death and heartbreak from medieval Europe:

In a story told by Ordericus Vitalis, a maiden in love with Harold, an Anglo-Saxon to whom she had been promised by her father, William the Conqueror, prior to the Battle of Hastings where Harold did battle with and was slain by his prospective father-in-law, wasted aboard the ship that bore her toward another husband.

I wonder how if this will ever end up as a movie, or a Dan Gibbard song.

And of course Tristan and Isolde received a fair amount of attention from the Pre-Raphaelites.

Yes, I'm stuck in medieval history mode...
