This fief has also a "second life": the romans and movies, operas and musics written on the name of the fief of Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is another form of Ivinghoe, attested in the XVII century (for exemple in the Hertfordshire county sessions records for 1665).

This name inspired Walter Scott to write the famous historical novel "Ivanhoe", the most influential historical novel ever written. In the novel, Richard Coeur de Lion gives investiture to Wilfred to the Lordship of the Manor of Ivanhoe. So most correctly the name Ivanhoe is the feudal title of Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
