Publisher's Synopsis
(Revised edition)Most historians call him England's greatest knight. He served four Plantagenet kings and saved the Magna Carta. He started life as a pennyless knight errant and rose to become the virtual King of England; and the most honored man in all of Europe. His life reads like a Hollywood script almost too good to be true, but it was true. His accomplishments have been largely forgotten and he has been denied the high place in history he truly deserves. A man of incredible honor and accomplishments, William the Marshal should receive his due as we approach the 800th anniversary of one of the foundation blocks of democracy. Come now and "Behold the Marshal!"
