Ivanhoe Chapter 28

In which the gallant Wilfred of Ivanhoe, grievously wounded in the lists, is tenderly nursed by the learned and compassionate Jewess Rebecca, daughter of Isaac of York, whose skilful ministrations and secret remedies provide a sanctuary amid the prejudices of the age. The chapter unfolds amidst politic manoeuvres and mistrust, as Ivanhoe’s convalescence draws him into the shifting alliances and perils that surround the divided loyalties of Saxons, Normans, and Jews in a troubled England.
