Ivanhoe Chapter 14
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the Prince John, seeking to assert his authority and win favour among Norman and Saxon nobles alike, hosts a splendid banquet at Ashby Castle where old enmities and rivalries subtly surface amidst feasting and forced courtesies. The gathering, marked by sharp wit and veiled insults, culminates in a bold toast to the absent King Richard, leaving the Prince and his followers troubled by the restless spirits of those tethered to a fading age.
