However, he sustained a nearly fatal wound and was taken and cared for by Rebecca the daughter of Isaac of York. While Isaac and his entourage were returning to their home to give Ivanhoe the best care possible, Sir Brian and his men waylaid them. Isaac, Cedric, and their parties were taken for ransom and...
