Ivanhoe
A hundred and thirty years after the Conquest, Wilfred of Ivanhoe comes home from crusade disinherited by his father and rides into the tournament at Ashby under a stranger's shield. Norman barons hold the country while the king is missing, and an outlaw in Sherwood, a Templar and Rebecca of York each take a hand. Scott's turn from Scotland to England, and the source of most of what the nineteenth century thought the Middle Ages looked like.
