The Greatest Knight was such a great book, I’d love to see this documentary! ⚔️

[@zoetropo1]

Marshal was trained and knighted by his kinsman William de Tancarville, grandson of Count Stephen of Tréguier who opened the first “High Court of Parliament” in 1089. Another of King John’s advisers who supported MC was Alan of Galloway, great-great-grandson of Earl Gospatric.

Just finished reading The Greatest Knight. Very interesting and very well written. It's a shame that Marshall's legacy is largely anonymous.

I loved Asbridge's book on William Marshal, and this documentary looks like it is just as good. How do I find the rest of the show...?

[@johnburwood1232]

The documentary was on UK television BBC 2, last shown in December 2017 and it was outstanding. It's not currently available on either BBC iplayer or DVD which is a great shame.

My maiden name is Marshall. I was brought up being told we are descendants of William Marshall. I'd love to know if there is a way to find out

The gentleman is my ancestor

Would be interested in how you researched this

[@richarddoran4217]

@@mrvolcada5355 and you are who. My sister happened to do the research on our family. She's quite thorough. Unless she was given the wrong info.

[@richarddoran4217]

@@mrvolcada5355 Based on the people that made our family tree u would think that they wouldn't put people like Sir Williams Marshall on it just for random purposes to enhance our family tree. We have a few Templar as well

[@TheJennick13]

Where's the rest of it??
