Description

William Marshal: The Greatest Knight A captivating blend of fact and fiction brings to life one of England's greatest forgotten heroes. In 1167, William Marshal is plucked from obscurity when he saves the life of Henry II's queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. He becomes tutor to the heir to the throne, but his influence over the volatile prince and his young wife is resented by less favoured courtiers. As a royal favourite, William faces conflict and envy, as well as fame and reward. Elizabeth Chadwick masterfully weaves together meticulous research and strong storytelling to create a sumptuous ride through the Middle Ages. This commemorative collector's edition marks the 800th anniversary of William Marshal's death, offering a unique opportunity to experience his story in a special 'Director's Cut' format. With beguiling characters and an intriguing narrative, this novel is sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction and action-adventure stories.
