56 - HISTORY'S GREATEST KNIGHT | William Marshal ("The Peacemaker") | The Middle Ages

William Marshal, known famously as “The Peacemaker,” stepped forward when the Magna Carta—the first of the great freedom documents promoting individual liberty—was about to be discarded.

He rescued and enforced this pivotal pact of freedom but would never have had the influence necessary without his incredibly heroic and revered life.

For becoming “the world’s greatest knight” was not something anyone expected from a boy of his lowly status.

He began life with everyone he knew corrupt and self-serving. We would expect William Marshal to be the same. Yet, he would make his own choices and determine to adopt and refine his own code of loyalty to Christ and to England.

He became a man of honesty, chivalry, and clever, capable diplomacy. England, and by extension much of the rest of the world, would likely look very different today without his life of sacrifice and worthy service.

This is his incredible story…
