The face of a stone effigy of William Marshal in Temple Church, London

Today marks the anniversary of the death of William Marshal (d.1219), undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in Irish or British history.

A renowned knight who served no fewer than four different kings, he rose to be the Protector of the Realm and Regent of England.
