The Greatest Knight
New York Times Bestseller
Synopsis
Based on a true story. From impoverished young knight to magnate of the realm via the tourney fields, bedchambers and political battlegrounds, The Greatest Knight is a sumptuous tale that restores William Marshal to his rightful place and reflects through him the triumphs, scandals and power struggles that haven’t changed in eight hundred years.
“Enkor traira feve de pot
Vos ne savez ke jo nurris”
“You’ll see, he’ll set the world alight
You have no idea of the quality of the man I am keeping”
~ Histoire de Guillaume le Mareschal ~
