"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Documentary on Sir William Marshal
« on: 2012-01-06, 00:10:57 »
Saw this posted on MyArmoury but knew people here would appreciate it.  It's a BBC documentary that focuses on William Marshal.  I'm only partially through watching it so can't vouch for how good it is, but it seems pretty good so far!

Excellent, I'll have to take a look later. Can't really watch an hour show while at work. :)

I'll check it out later...I'm thinking the image I'm seeing is just for visual purposes; I hope they are not doing it in full plate.  ;)

Finally got to finish watching it. Such a great show! Wish they could have covered a little more of his life but maybe there will be a part two someday! ;)

That's just the opening of the show where they talk about 15th c tournament before jumping further back in time to Marshal's contemporaries.

Was a great documentary to watch.  I learned quite a bit about the early tournament scene that I didn't know.

Just got done watching this on lunch break. It is definitely worth a watch. I learned a lot about the early tournaments that I haven't seen or read elsewhere.
