Download or read book William Marshal written by Georges Duby and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Duby, one of this century's great medieval historians, has brought to life with exceptional brilliance and imagination William Marshal, adviser to the Plantagenets, knight extraordinaire, the flower of chivalry. A marvel of historical reconstruction, William Marshal is based on a biographical poem written in the thirteenth century, and offers an evocation of chivalric life—the contests and tournaments, the rites of war, the daily details of medieval existence—unlike any we have ever seen.
