Set in 1194 in a Norman-ruled England, disinherited Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades in disguise to compete in Prince John's grand tournament. Aided by a mysterious Black Knight and the outlaw Robin Hood, Ivanhoe must expose Norman corruption, win back his birthright, and save the healer Rebecca from a witch trial. Sweeping medieval panels bring the tournaments, sieges, and chivalry of Walter Scott's classic to life.
