Excerpt from inside dust jacket: . . . The Marshal lived a life of epic proportions, and David Crouch's book provides a fascinating insight into a variety of medieval obsessions - the tournament, warfare, greed for land and power, love and lordship. Written in an engaging and refreshing style, the book shows that William Marshal was not the boneheaded and unfeeling warrior that many imagine knights to have been: he lived in a sophisticated political world, and he weaved his way through the minefield of the royal courts of his day with courage and panache.
