Plot


12th century, England. The Knight Commander of the Order of the Templars, Brian de Boisguillebert, rides up to the night fire, near which the Saxon feudal lord Cedric of Rotherwood has settled with his retinue and niece Lady Rowena. Cedric gives him a place near the fire, as well as an approaching pilgrim who has returned from the Holy Land. During the conversation between Cedric and Boisguillebert, it turns out that both of them are going to the tournament in Ashby. Boisguillebert talks about his participation in the Crusade and boasts that the Templars were the strongest in the army of the Crusaders. The pilgrim objects and tells of three knights who defeated the Templars in the tournament. The pilgrim names two, but says that he does not remember the name of the third. Then Boisguillebert admits that the knight defeated him, and the knight is called Ivanhoe, who is also the son of Cedric. Boisguillebert declares that next time he will definitely defeat Ivanhoe.




Production


The filming took place in Khotyn Fortress and Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle. The movie features songs originally written and performed by Vladimir Vysotsky for the 1975 Soviet film The Arrows of Robin Hood, but removed from the latter for political reasons.
