In 1167, William Marshal is a landless younger son seeking advancement through skill, courage and service. After rescuing Eleanor of Aquitaine during an ambush, he enters the household of Henry the Young King and earns fame on the tournament circuit, where victory can bring both wealth and dangerous envy.
William’s loyalty is tested by court factions, rebellion within Henry II’s family and accusations intended to separate him from his young lord. His rise depends on balancing personal honour with the demands of princes whose favour can change without warning, establishing the reputation that will make him one of the most influential knights of his age.
