The superscript could be translated:

"Here is written the Saga of Tristam and Queen Ísönd, in which will be
told of the unbearable love they had for each other. 1226 years had
then passed since the birth of Christ when this story was written in
the Norse language at the behest and order of the most worthy lord,
King Hakon. Brother Robert accomplished [the work] and wrote it
according to his knowledge, wording it as follows in the story, as
must now be told."
