Historical elements
The background of Ivanhoe is the second half of the reign of Richard I. The battle of Hastings is a crucial historical touchstone for the story. From the fifth century to 1066 AD, England was mainly inhabited by Anglos, Saxons, and Danes -- all Germanic peoples.
William, Duke of Normandy, however, hoped to succeed his cousin, Edward the Confessor, as King of England. His chief contender for the English throne was Harold, the Saxon noble. In 1062, Harold was shipwrecked on the Norman coast.
He was captured by Duke William, who released him on the condition that he agreed to give up his claim to the English throne. However, when Edward died in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon Great Council elected Harold their King.
