 His henchman, Kurwenal, speaks crossly to Brangaene, reminding her that Isolde’s previous fiancé, Morold, had been killed by Tristan and his head sent back to Ireland.

 She is furious, and wants him to drink a potion which had been intended by her mother for King Marke and Isolde as a love potion, but for Tristan it would be death.

 When he arrives, Isolde tells him that she now knows that he was Tantris, and that he owes her his life.
Tristan und Isolde 
 Tristan agrees to drink the potion, now prepared by Brangaene, even though he knows it may kill him.

Tristan und Isolde 
 Brangaene warns Isolde that one of King Marke’s knights, Melot, has seen Tristan and Isolde looking at one another lovingly.

 Kurwenal sees Melot, Marke and Brangaene arrive and furiously attacks Melot because he had killed Tristan.
