Returning from the Crusades, the noble knight Ivanhoe finds himself disinherited by his father and his homeland in turmoil. England is torn between the Saxons, who once ruled the land, and the Normans, who now hold power. Prince John, the king?s scheming brother, seeks to steal the throne while King Richard is away. Disguised, Ivanhoe enters a grand tournament to prove his skill and reclaim his honour. There, he crosses paths with a host of unforgettable characters?his beloved Lady Rowena, the brave and kind-hearted Rebecca, and a mysterious outlaw who roams Sherwood Forest. When treachery strikes and enemies close in, Ivanhoe must rely on courage, loyalty, and the strength of his companions. Caught between love and duty, war and peace, Ivanhoe fights not only for his own redemption, but for the future of a divided England.
