Quotes
-
Prince John : His taste in women is a glove in every Saxon face. Now let Sir Ralph DeVipont throw him and his shame's complete.
-
Prince John : Your foe has bloodied you, sir knight. Will you concede defeat?
[Ivanhoe, disguised in black armor, shakes his head no]
Prince John : You fight too well to die so mean a death. Will you not throw in your lot with me instead?
Ivanhoe : That would be an even meaner death, your grace.
-
Prince John : To the confusion and confining of that cursed death's-head knight. Why could you fools not kill him on the field?
Sir Hugh De Bracy : Because he was no fool, my liege.
Prince John : How can a Norman hold the throne of England when the knights who are his strength go down like chaff beneath an unknown Saxon mountebank?
Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert : Neither a mountebank, nor yet unknown. I road against that self-same knight at Acre in the war.
Prince John : Then tell us who he is.
Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert : The favored henchman of your brother Richard, my liege, Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
Prince John : Ivanhoe here in England?
[turning to his advisor]
Prince John : You told me he was dead!
Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert : He should be and he shall be when he and I meet again. I carry his death warrant here against my breast.

Waldemar Fitzurse : And the maid Rebecca in your hands. A sorceress! Taught by a witch who was burned at the stake.
Prince John : And you believe that nonsense?
Waldemar Fitzurse : No, but your people shall. I think you have the spade with which to bury Richard at last.
