:17:01
No, I would have my questions
answered first. Sir knight...
:17:04
...I believe there were tournaments
between Saxon and Norman knights...
:17:08
...to prove which was more valiant.
- Aye, milady, in the Holy Land.
:17:12
The Saxons were at last taught
to bow to their betters.
:17:15
And yet, I hear the Saxons
won the tournaments.
:17:18
How does a Saxon lady come to know
so much of such distant matters?
:17:22
Only from the tales I hear, sir knight.
:17:25
And I was told that
in the tournament at Acre...
:17:28
...Richard of England led five
of his Saxon knights into combat...
:17:32
...and vanquished all
who challenged them.
:17:34
The one who fell was named De Bracy.
:17:37
And another, Bois-Guilbert.
:17:41
True, milady. I blush, but I admit it.
:17:44
I can still feel the dust in my mouth.
Is it out of your teeth yet, Guilbert?
:17:49
A broken saddle girth caused my fall,
not the bumpkin of a knight I tilted.
:17:54
And who was this bumpkin of a knight?
:17:57
He named himself Wilfred of lvanhoe.
:18:00
- Ivanhoe?
- Aye, milady.
:18:03
A friend of Richard's
who vanished as suddenly as his king.
:18:07
What manner of knight
was he to look upon?
:18:09
I never saw his face.
:18:11
Few men did.
:18:13
But he wore a dragon charge
upon his shield.
:18:16
I shall know him by that,
if we ever meet again.
:18:19
- And why did he vanish, sire?
- Because he was a coward.
:18:22
Coward?
:18:24
Aye, a coward who fled when there
was no Richard to hide behind...
:18:27
...before I could challenge him
to meet me.
:18:31
Then I give you the challenge that lvanhoe
would give to you were he here, sir knight.
:18:37
And I bid you drink to his honor
as a fellow knight.
:18:45
And you, milord.
:18:47
Will you drink to his honor too?
