The story is set in medieval England and revolves around the character of Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a knight who seeks to reclaim his honor and win the affection of Lady Rowena, all while navigating the political tensions between Saxons and Normans as well as the complexities of chivalric values and loyalty. The opening of "Ivanhoe" introduces the character Gurth, a loyal Saxon swineherd, who finds himself in a dangerous situation while traveling through the dark outskirts of Ashby. He is threatened by a band of robbers demanding his money but manages to find a clever way to escape by engaging in a duel proposed by the gang leader. The scene sets the tone for the novel, showcasing themes of bravery, loyalty, and the danger present in the feudal society of medieval times. Additionally, the text hints at the deeper conflicts between the Saxons and Normans, as well as Ivanhoe's eventual rise as a central figure in this complex narrative filled with tournament contests and the struggle for identity and legacy.
