Dr Saul David investigates the violent world of the medieval melee tournament.
Unlike the better known joust, this was a brutal brawl with sharpened weapons, few rules, and one undisputed champion- William Marshal.
Saul investigates Marshal’s life, discovering his epic rise from a tournament champion to the Regent of England who saved a kingdom on the battlefield. Saul also experiments with Marshal’s weapons.
Fantastic documentary. Very well covered. Thank you for posting this.
Really well done, very exciting and captures the time period/person of the Marshall well.
enjoyable piece!
sad that he was such a strong leader but didnt know his letters
