Ivanhoe Chapter 37
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the stately tribunal of the Knights Templar convenes to cast judgment upon the Jewish maiden Rebecca, amid grave accusations of witchcraft and sorcery that stir dark suspicions within the austere assembly. With solemn witnesses and fervent appeals, the prisoner boldly denies the charges and invokes the ancient right of trial by combat, casting down her glove as a challenge to those who would champion justice in fair England.
