In The Time of Knights

Meet William Marshal, known as the greatest knight who ever lived, and learn about his thrilling, true-life story. As a boy, William was sent to Normandy to learn the ways of a knight. His bravery gained the attention of all of Europe — and of the royal court — as he traveled to the Holy Land during the crusades, battled in tournaments and won prizes. He was given the honour of being the protector of the throne's heir.

Colourfully illustrated, the book includes special features, maps, diagrams, and sidebars that explain life in medieval times.
