Very well done kid version of chivalry using the life of William Marshal to illustrate the virtues and life of a knight. It drew my son into wanting to know more details about the incidents in the book, which led to even more learning.

In the Time of Knights I Was There Shelley Tanaka 9780786806515 Books Reviews

William Marshal, a knight, served four kings in his lifetime. His bravery and dedication was the greatest ever recorded. Not only that but he lived to the grand old age of 72 which was remarkable for that time period especially considering the number of fights he had been in. After his death, his son, so impressed with his father's life, had a book/poem written about him in French that was 19,000 lines long!

Although this book is mainly about the story of William, it also provides some great information about knights in general. Learn how mail was made for the knights to wear. Did you know that each link was passed through four other links, hence it's strength? Read about the tournaments, rules of heraldry, the crusades including William's own trip to the Holy Land.

An excellent resource that we really enjoyed.
