Dear Group,
I'm just watching a TV Doco. on the above William Marshall.
WOW
There seem to be many books about this man I had never heard of. And I have just realized is important!
http://www.amazon.com/William-Marshal-Knighthood-Chivalry-1147-1219/dp/058277222...
As a Chess lover I keep finding more info that amazes me.
Does my group have a good/definitive book about him you would recommend?
Guido.
ETA. Perhaps this post shouldn't be here. But I can't seem to find a Medieval on LT?

Thanks >2 AndreasJ:!
Do you have any thoughts on William Marshall?
I might join the above 2 groups, although I prefer to only join groups I might be usefull to.
ETA. I am watching both groups.

I don't know much about William Marshal. There's a newish book about him called The Knight Who Saved England which seems to be getting mixed reviews.

If you have french, you can find a partial translation of his biography on archive.org; search for
creator:"Meyer, Paul, 1840-1917"
I think the translation is in vol. 2 or 3.

The Crouch book mentioned in the first post is considered the best, most up-to-date book. Keep in mind I haven't read it and Routledge books are often fairly academic.

Thomas Asbridge has a good book called The Greatest Knight: William Marshal, The Power Behind Five English Thrones. I read it a few months ago.
