The story follows Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon noble whose loyalty to the Norman king Richard the Lionheart puts him at odds with his father and the dominant Norman aristocracy. Set in 1194 after the failed Third Crusade, it depicts an England where many Crusaders are returning home and King Richard, captured by Leopold of Austria, is believed still captive, forcing Wilfred to navigate honor, family, and political turmoil.
