About “The Greatest Knight”
William Marshal, a penniless young knight with few prospects, is plucked from obscurity when he saves the life of Henry II's queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, who appoints him tutor to the heir to the throne, the volatile Prince Henry. Being a royal favorite brings both danger and jealousy along with fame and reward, and the book restores Marshal, whose descendants include George Washington and Winston Churchill, to his place as one of England's forgotten heroes.
