Hrolfr:
I have read somewhere that the (either) crossed or uncrossed legs indicated that the person the effigy was carved for either did or did not go on a Crusade.

Kinda foggy on which was either.

crossed legs means he has to forever hold his pee

Sir William:

--- Quote from: Joshua Santana on 2013-03-22, 15:37:41 ---"William Marshal: Knight Errant, Baron, and Regent of England" by Sidney Painter.  I found this in the library if Kean University.  I was also able to find a copy of "William Marshal: The Flower of Chivalry" by Georges Duby.

I've read the Duby book, as well as Crouch's William Marshal: Knighthood, War and Chivalry, 1147-1219; but not Painter.  I'll have to check that out.

Excellent, there is good reason to like Duby's book.  I have yet to catch Crouch's book.  Painter's book is biographical and has good historical information in it.  It is a very good book that does justice to the legacy of Sir William Marshal.
