Rebecca realizes that she is becoming very attached to Ivanhoe as she nurses him. Ivanhoe is too weak to watch the battle at the window, but Rebecca recounts the action for him. The Black Knight leads the intruders toward Torquilstone. A bugle signals the attack, followed by the Normans sounding their trumpets. Both sides shoot arrows at one another before engaging in combat. Front-de-Boeuf's men drag their master back inside the castle after the Black Knight defeats him.
