Prince John’s latest plan for snatching the crown is Machiavellian. He gives Bois-Guilbert and Fron-de-Beouf the ransom money demanded by the Holy Roman Emperor to free Richard.

But there’s a catch ... before they reach English coast, Richard has to die in an “accident” on the open sea. Fortunately, Ivanhoe is looking out for his beloved Richard Coeur-de-Lion.
