 This is an excellent and erudite collection of essays centered around William Marshal's career in Ireland. William Marshal came into the lordship of Leinster when he married Isabel, the daughter of William Fitz Gilbert de Clare, a.k.a. Strongbow, the Anglo-Norman lord who first penetrated Ireland in the late twelfth century. Marshal spent a good part of the rest of his life securing his holdings in Ireland and working to turn them into a profitable enterprise. This collection starts with a brief account of Marshal's life and character and then proceeds to closely examine a number of aspects of his lordship of Leinster.
This richly illustrated collection of essays examines for the first time the important Irish career of one of the most famous personalities of medieval Europe, William Marshal (c.1146-1219). The Marshal, with his wife Isabel de Clare, transformed the lordship of Leinster by the sword but also through the establishment of castles, churches, towns, and strategic infrastructure, as well as the institution of a new administrative framework that stabilised the Anglo-Norman colony. The essays in this book, by leading historians and archaeologists, present the Marshal in a new light--one that differs substantially from his better known persona as the 'greatest knight that ever lived' and a 'flower of chivalry.'
