The story takes place during the time of the Crusades, set against the backdrop of medieval England and exploring themes of chivalry, honor, and the clash of cultures. The narrative primarily revolves around the character of Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight returning home from the Crusades, and his romantic entanglements with the lovely Rebecca, a Jewish healer, and the political machinations surrounding them. The opening of the novel introduces Isaac of York, a Jewish moneylender, who embarks on a perilous journey to negotiate the ransom for his daughter, Rebecca, who has been captured. He is accompanied by yeoman protectors but soon finds himself too weak to continue and seeks refuge with a fellow Jew, Nathan ben Israel. As he recuperates, the dire circumstances of Rebecca's captivity weigh heavily on his mind, revealing the significant threats posed by the fanatical Templar leader, Lucas de Beaumanoir. The tension escalates as Isaac learns of Beaumanoir's disdain for his people and his intentions towards Rebecca, foreshadowing the unfolding drama of love, prejudice, and conflict in this richly woven tale.
