What happens
Ivanhoe is a 1982 historical romance television film directed by Douglas Camfield, with a screenplay written by John Gay. An adaptation of Walter Scott's 1819 novel of the same name, it stars Anthony Andrews in the title role and depicts the noble knight Ivanhoe returning home from the Third Crusade and becoming involved in a power struggle for the throne of England. Brian de Bois-Guilbert is treated more ambiguously than in most versions of the story. He develops some genuine affection for Rebecca of York towards the end, and although he could easily have won the fight against the wounded and weakened Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Brian de Bois-Guilbert lowers his sword and allows himself to be killed, thus saving Rebecca's life.
