Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott

Description

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott was originally published in 1820 and is considered one of the most read books for the last 200 years. It is a classic and is required reading in most High-School or College curriculums.

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 Sir Wilfred’s 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.
