AKA Ivanhoe: A Romance
"I offered Richard the service of my Free Lances,
and he refused them.... thanks to the bustling times,
a man of action will always find employment.."
Historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, first published in three volumes.
Ivanhoe is the story of one of the remaining Anglo-Saxon noble families at a time when the nobility in England was overwhelmingly Norman. It follows the Saxon protagonist, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, who is out of favour with his father for his allegiance to the Norman king Richard the Lionheart. The story is set in 1194, after the failure of the Third Crusade, when many of the Crusaders were still returning to their homes in Europe. King Richard, who had been captured by Leopold of Austria on his return journey to England, was believed to still be in captivity.
