From the liner notes

From the famous novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott comes this TV miniseries classic, Ivanhoe! A fictional story of one of the remaining Saxon noble families at a time when the English nobility was overwhelmingly Norman, it follows the Saxon protagonist, Wilfrid of Ivanhoe. Wilfrid has lost favor with his father after courting Lady Rowena and proclaiming allegiance to the Norman king Richard I of England. Set in 1194 after the end of the Third Crusade, many of the Crusaders were still returning to Europe. King Richard escaped capture by the Duke of Saxony on his way back, but was still presumed to be held hostage. The legendary Robin Hood, initially under the name of Locksley, is also a character in the story, as are his "merry men."
