Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

the foremost fighting man of his time.

 

Named in the Magna Charta. One of the few barons in John's
party.

 

 

told Stephen to go ahead & hang young William.

 

REF: The Pagaent of England, The Magnificent Century, by Thomas
B. Costain: Known as the "Good Knight", King Phillip Augustus
of France said "he was the most loyal man I ever knew. Je rode
with King John of England to Magna Charta out of loyalty to the
monarch even while agreeing the Charta was just. Later, at the
"Fair of Lincoln", he rode to the battle without a helmet,
silver locks flting in the wind, telling his young army "See
the hour has come!" & fought & defeated the very barons who had
spearheaded the Charta movement who were at that time backing
Prince Louis Capet of France over John's son, the young Henry
III. William Marshal did more than any other individual to save
Henry his crown. He was a man of uncommon wisdom & foresight.
He was the man who saved England. He had commanded the rear
guard when the Lion of England, Henry II, was retreating from
Le Mans from his rebellious & traitorous son, Richard the
Lionhearted, checking Richard's pursuit of his defeated & dying
father, killing Richard's horse & saying to that ungrateful son
"I leave YOU to the devil!" In the end, William the Marshal
only wanted a few years of peace on his Irish estates with his
wife & family, but the call of national service never released
him. He did not want the Protectorate of the young Henry III,
but every baron loyal to the young boy urged him on, pleaded
with him to assume responsibility. Archbishop of Canterbury
Stephen Langton officiated at his funeral & said "Here lies all
that remains of the best knight of all the world who has lived
in our time."
