Ivanhoe: The King's Knight
Synopsis
Set in medieval England during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart, this animated series follows Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a noble Saxon knight who fights for justice, honor, and the rightful king. With King Richard away on the Crusades, the scheming Prince John seeks to usurp the throne. Ivanhoe, loyal to Richard, becomes a symbol of resistance against tyranny. Each episode features Ivanhoe and his companions — including the clever jester Wamba, the brave Rebecca, and the loyal Harold — as they thwart Prince John's plots, battle corrupt nobles like Front-de-Boeuf and Malvoisin, and protect the innocent across the kingdom. The show blends action, chivalry, and moral lessons, offering a kid-friendly take on classic medieval adventure with a touch of political intrigue and fantasy.
