William Marshall
Address the proposition that William Marshall was not only a premier exemplar of chivalry, the 'perfect knight', but was also the greatest courtier of his age.
William Marshall is considered by many to be the epitome of knighthood and chivalry, as well as being an outstanding ambassador, during the turbulent twelfth and thirteenth centuries of England. From a virtually obscure beginning, William evolves into one of the most dominant stately figures of the time in England. During his brilliant military and political career, William served as knight for the courts of Kings Henry II, Richard (the Lion-hearted), and John.
William was born around 1147
