Set in 12th-century England, Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe" tells the story of Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight who has been disinherited by his father for supporting King Richard the Lionheart, who is away at the Crusades. Upon Richard's return, Ivanhoe aims to restore his honor and win the hand of the beautiful Lady Rowena.

Filled with tournaments, battles, and political intrigue, "Ivanhoe" vividly portrays the clash between Saxons and Normans. The novel features memorable characters such as Robin Hood, Prince John, and the Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and explores themes of love, loyalty, and justice. Scott's masterful storytelling and rich historical detail have made "Ivanhoe" a beloved classic for generations of readers, celebrated for its romanticism and adventurous spirit.
