Rebecca is Isaac the Jew's daughter. She is beautiful and generous. She nurses Ivanhoe after he is wounded in the tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche. Brian De Bois-Guilbert yearns for Rebecca and claims her as his prize when he joins De Bracy's scheme to kidnap Lady Rowena. Rebecca refuses to yield to De Bois-Guilbert's advances at Torquilstone because of her high morality. De Bois-Guilbert flees from Torquilstone after the Saxons emerge victorious in their battle, taking Rebecca with him to Templestowe where she is accused of witchcraft. Ivanhoe acts as Rebecca's champion, clearing her name. Rebecca returns to Ivanhoe's home the day after his marriage to Lady Rowena in order to express her gratitude.
