Great book about an outstanding historical character. You can never read enough about William Marshall.

Thank you for the chance to review this book, however, unfortunately, I was unable to read and review this title before it was archived.

The chronicler Roger of Wendover, who wrote an account of events (Flower of History trans by JA Ggiles London 1849), said …
“This battle, which, in derision of Louis and the barons, they called “The Fair,” took place on the 19th of May, which was on the Saturday in Whitsun-week; it commenced between the first and third hour, and was finished by these good managers before the ninth."

This then is the back-drop to Richard Brooks’ book, The Knight Who Saved England. He was "marshal and then regent of England who served four English monarchs as a royal adviser and agent and as a warrior of outstanding prowess."

Needless to say, the life and character of William Marshal is extraordinary and you will find a list of further reading at the end of Brooks’ book..
