Another great topic and so glad to hear you are a William Marshall fan ! I was disappointed he didn’t make the book club list last year as he was a super star . So I must squeeze his book in myself Lots of new info that I wasn’t aware of ,which is always a treat . Thank you

Great discussion! I'd like to add that without the Whte Ship Disaster & the death of William Æthling, we would have no Plantagenets.

Fascinating discussion! Thanks as always ...One of my favourite fiction books is by ken follett the pillars of the earth ..which has the white ship disaster as it's background
