Ivanhoe and The Monastery by Sir Walter Scott.
No:5 in the collection of Waverley Novels set.
Ivanhoe: It is about the life of Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a fictional Saxon knight. Despite the criticism it received because of its historical inaccuracies, the novel was one of Scott’s most popular works. Ivanhoe, a chivalrous knight, returns to England after having fought beside Richard the Lion-Heart in the Crusades
The Monastery: The story revolves around the abbey of Kennaquhair, which Scott based on Melrose Abbey in the Scottish borders. As the Reformation takes hold, the monastic community comes increasingly under threat from the new doctrines. The hero, Halbert Glendinning is the son of a soldier who has died fighting for the monastery.
