Ivanhoe

Synopsis

"In the dark days after Richard the Lionheart's (Rory Edwards) return to England, the noble Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe (Steven Waddington) battles factions loyal to the scheming Prince John (Ralph Brown)." ]Netflix] "Ivanhoe is set in 12th-century England with colourful descriptions of a tournament, outlaws, a witch trial and divisions between Jews and Christians. It has been credited for increasing interest in romance and medievalism; John Henry Newman claimed Scott "had first turned men's minds in the direction of the Middle Ages", while Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin made similar assertions of Scott's overwhelming influence over the revival, based primarily on the publication of this novel. It has also had an important influence on popular perceptions of Richard the Lionheart, King John and Robin Hood." [Wikipedia]
