Favourite Ivanhoe character?

[Riddleman]

I always liked Rebecca and I never saw what Ivanhoe saw in boring old Rowena...

I'd have to say Wilfred of Ivanhoe. He embodies the epitome of chivalry, although sadly he is purely fictional.

The proud & gallant Sir Brian Bois-Guilbert! Willing to question his beliefs & motivations---but not his honor & loyalty to his brother knights. I thought he was the most mature & honest character. I would've liked to see him go on to further adventures possibly with in service to King Richard along with De Bracy. His death seemed so out of character for such a strong personality!

Rebecca and Bois- Guilbert. What a couple they would have made. Also Wamba has a unique quality, which makes him quite a memorable character.

I think Rebecca is the one for me. I admire her for the way she dealt with Bois-Guilberd. Putting her life on the line when she culd have just yielded... It commands respect.

Yet, I can understand any likability towards Bois-Guilberd. I think he is a Byronic Hero avant-la-lettre. Technically Scott could have employed the format (chronologically), but he didn't make him a main character. he is only lightly touched upon, so he is not prominent.

King Richard was also very engaging.

And Locksley/Robin Hood. Great! He commanded respect.

Wamba was just great, as the fool and wise counseler...

Brian de Bois Guilbert for me, particularly as played by Sam Neill in the film.
He was a baddie certainly, but I think he really loved Rebecca.

Brian de Bois Guilbert - my choice as well. I sometimes like baddies.

I think I'll go with Richard Couer de Lion.
