Read

"Ivanhoe" by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in December 1819. Set in 12th-century England, it tells the story of Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe, disinherited for his loyalty to Norman King Richard the Lionheart and his forbidden love for Lady Rowena. The novel weaves together tournaments, outlaws, and the tensions between Saxons and Normans, Jews and Christians. This groundbreaking work shifted Scott's focus from Scotland to medieval England, inspiring widespread fascination with chivalry and shaping popular images of figures like Robin Hood and Richard the Lionheart.
