William the Marshal, Earl of Pembroke (via his young wife), Lord of Striguil and Regent of England (in the minority of Henry III) was appropriately eulogized at his funeral by Archbishop Langton of Canterbury who said, "Here lies all that remains of
the best knight of all the world who has lived in our time." William was renown across Europe for his courage, honesty and loyalty to his country, and served with much distinction as a chief officer of several kings. {His biography is "L'Historie
de Guillaume le Marechal," probably written by his squire, John Earley. His life and importance are summarized in "The Magnificent Century," Thomas B. Costain (Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Co., 1951), pp. 41ff.} He fought in more than 500 duels in the
tilting ring and lost none nor was seriously injured in any of the many battles in which he fought. He was in
the Holy Land on crusade c. 1185-87, was one of the regents during Richard's absence (1190), etc. His five sons succeeded him one by one as earl. For more information, try this site on the World Wide Web: http://www.castlewales.com/marshall.html

of the royal forces and a great officer of State." - Encyclopaedia's
Britannica, 1956 Ed., 7:829. Gilbert was Marshall in the court of King
Henry II and owned land in Wiltshire. For Gilbert and his son John and
