Description
THE knight of all knights: this is William Marshal as portrayed by David Crouch in his classic biography of 'the Marshal'. International sportsman, career courtier and highly capable and professional soldier, William Marshal challenges many of our assumptions about boneheaded and unfeeling warrior knights. This illustrated new edition expands and upgrades William Marshal's epic life-story in light of recent discoveries about his career and character.
