Rebecca and Rowena: A Romance Upon Romance is a novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray. The story is set in the medieval times and revolves around two young women, Rebecca and Rowena. Rebecca is a beautiful Jewish girl who is forced to flee from her home due to the persecution of her people by the Christians. She takes refuge in the castle of Cedric the Saxon, where she meets Rowena, a fair-haired Saxon princess.As the two women become close friends, they both fall in love with the same man, Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is a brave knight who is fighting for the liberation of the Saxons from the Norman conquerors. However, Ivanhoe's heart is torn between the two women, and he struggles to choose between them.The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the clash of cultures between the Jews and the Christians in medieval England. Thackeray's writing style is witty and engaging, and he brings the characters to life with his vivid descriptions and insightful observations.Rebecca and Rowena: A Romance Upon Romance is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and romance novels. It is a timeless tale of love and friendship that will captivate readers of all ages.It was not until the King wanted to interfere with the sport of every gentleman in England (as we know by reference to the Historic Page that this odious monarch did), that Athelstane broke out into open rebellion, along with several Yorkshire squires and noblemen. It is recorded of the King, that he forbade every man to hunt his own deer; and, in order to secure an obedience to his orders, this Herod of a monarch wanted to secure the eldest sons of all the nobility and gentry, as hostages for the good behavior of their parents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
