Mine is from the 1952 Robert Taylor Ivanhoe.  
Rebecca is judged to be a witch by the court headed by Prince John.  
Ivanhoe throws off the cloak covering his knightly regalia, throws his glove at Prince John and declares, " I Wilfred of Ivanhoe, do challenge the judgment of this tribunal. In the name of the accused, I demand that her guilt or innocence be determined in the eyes of God by wager of battle. "

And he proceeds to kick Norman ass.

🙂

What is yours?
