One of the greatest knights of the Middle Ages. Born in 1146 and died in 1219, during that time he served 4 Kings, Henry II, Richard, John and Henry III. He rose from a landless minor knight to become one of the most powerful men in Europe at that time.
Lots of tales abound about his prowess in tournaments, apparently unbeaten in over 500 bouts. The film, 'A Knights Tale' is based on many of his exploits.
