Complete answer: Ivanhoe is a historical romance novel by Sir Walter Scott published in 1819.
Wilfred of Ivanhoe was the son of Cedric who had been disinherited by his father for two reasons firstly because of his allegiance to Richard, the exiled King of England, and secondly because of his romantic interest in Rowena, ward of Cedric, whom Cedric intended as a bride to Athelstane, a descendant of Saxon royalty.
In the guise of the Disinherited Knight, Ivanhoe fought the battle valiantly and won the tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche with the aid of the Black Knight and crowns Rowena his Queen of Beauty and Love. He suffered severe wounds in the contest and was ministered to by Rebecca, daughter of the Jewish moneylender, Isaac of York.
On the way home from the tournament the Saxon party, together with the Jews and the wounded Ivanhoe were captured by De Bracy, who wanted Rowena as his wife. They were taken to the castle of Front-de-Boeuf and were imprisoned. The Black Knight, Locksley and his band, Cedric, and others attack the castle with the help of Ulrica, an old Saxon hag succeeded in freeing the prisoners. Brian de Bois-Guilbert, Knight Templar, escaped to Templestowe and took Rebecca with him.
Rebecca who was accused of sorcery was sentenced to die as a witch. Ivanhoe championed her in a trial by combat against the unwilling Bois-Guilbert. Rebecca was set free when the Templar falls dead from his horse.
The Black Knight revealed himself as King Richard, Ivanhoe and Rowena were married and Rebecca and her father left England for Granada.
