William the Marshall, written about throughout The Conquerors and The Magnificant Century;

WILLIAM MARSHALL, son of JOHN DE MARSHALL & Sybill, was a younger son of a powerful Norman family, he had been given as a hostage to Stephen at a stage of the civil war in which his father fought on the side of Empress Matilda.  When the father's conduct had been such that Stephen was reported to be ready to hang the six-year-old boy in reprisal, the unnatural father had one comment only to make, "I have the anvil still and the hammer to make more sons".  The boy had nothing to hope for from a father of this stamp.  Being spared by Stephen, who for all his faults was not a cruel man, young William was sent to Normandy to be reared at the castle of an uncle named Tancarville.  Lacking all prospects, he was trained to be a soldier and grew into a tall, handsome, and immensely strong youth, with a knack in the use of all weapons.  As soon as he had been admitted to knighthood, which was at an unusually early age, he began to cut an amazing swath in the tournaments which , times of peace, filled the days and thoughts of all proper men.  ... One day he did some reckoning and found that he had fought in 500 tournaments, or in single combat bouts, and that he had been the winner on each occassion, taking his opponent's horse and armor as his prize.  ... He was in due course assigned by Henry II to serve in the train of the heir of England, the Prince Henry who was later known as Li Reys Josnes -
