But I also read several historical novels of the 12th century by Graham Shelby, in which Wm Marshal appears. I believe he is the main character in the one about King John.<br /><br />It was thinking about Mr Shelby and the first of his two Crusades novels (Knights of Dark Renown) that I was reminded of one of the blackest villains history has to show - Reynald of Chatillon - the complete antithesis of the likes of William Marshal. I mean, this guy Reynald was just, plain .... nasty.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-35568640435915860902014-04-19T15:09:45.293+01:002014-04-19T15:09:45.293+01:00Ross Mac,
