In this episode, Charlie Higson turns his attention to an incredible figure, William Marshall , dubbed T he Greatest Knight In Christendom and it's easy to see why. Not only did he live into his 70's, amazing considering he was born in 1146, but he served 5 kings at a time when life expectancy in a royal court was, well, limited. Joining Charlie is Sophie Therese Ambler , author of a biography of Simon De Montfort, the man who led a rebellion against King Henry III, the last King that William Marshall served. Hosted on Acast.
