His battle skills were unrivalled: he was the champion of brutal melee tournaments, defeating hundreds of other knights. But he wasn’t just a good fighter.

The archishop of Canterbury and medieval chronicler Stephen Langton would later call William Marshal “the best knight that ever lived.” Find out why in this amazing episode.
