Explanation:

Authorial intent is a term that refers to an author's intent on how their work should be interpreted.

In most cases after the author's death, it becomes difficult to keep their authorial intent.  

The two sentences that indicate that the novel is a work of historical fiction are:

"...Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England. niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of  Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assurne the  veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. "

"It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honour of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license."

Explanation:

"Ivanhoe: A Romance" is a historical novel written by Walter Scott. The novel is about medieval England and the conflict between Jews and Christians during that time.

The two statements from the excerpt that suggests that this text is a work of historical fiction are,

"...Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England. niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of  Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assurne the  veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. "

"It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honour of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license."

These two statements include the name of two historical figures, namely, Princess Matilda and King William, and describes them. Thus these two sentences give us a hint that Ivanhoe is a work of historical fiction.
