Nice find, Dane. We should add that to the list of links for the Marshal. One thing about effigies...I wonder how stylized they are, as opposed to being anthropologically correct in size. I mean they all look relatively slender and small to wear all of the war gear they had to back then. Of course size is relative to time I guess.

Great find! I've added a link to it from the "William Marshal" page on the Order website.

That's a really cool website link. Good find!
my only problem with the whole thing is this:

I mean, come on... it's wicked cool they included William Marshall in the movie... but that "ring-plate-thingy" of the victorian era... hasn't that been shown to be a piece of fantasy?

There were more than a couple things fantastical in that movie, like the lionhead pauldrons or the visored sugarloaf he wears (have to admit, it is a nice helm)...but I was just glad that they included him in something more than a minor ancillary role. Truth be told, there should be an epic movie of his life, maybe a trilogy even. William Hurt would not have been my first choice as The Marshal. Maybe James Purefoy...I could see him in the role.

James Purefoy...

now there is a man who could play William Marshall! And I agree most heartily, for everything William Marshall did and how much he helped create chivalry, by far the most underrated man of the Medieval Age
And James Purefoy, a highly underrated actor. I like the combination. Good news for us though:
I have a friend who recently graduated CSUF, with a bunch of friends at other film schools. He's trying to get a 13th century Medieval England film made. I told him about William Marshall and after he did some of his own research, he thought the man could make an excellent hero for his film. Here's hoping it happens. I also told him finding extras probably wouldn't be a problem ;)

I'm sure to start with it'll be a very small, at home, kind of production, but who knows? :) if the script is good enough maybe someone will buy it. I also think Daniel Craig is great as Bond, but, I think Purefoy would have been a good Bond too

Yea, I think Purefoy would've been a great Bond. That'd be awesome if your friend could do a film on the Marshal. You never know, it might get optioned and made into an epic...that'd be awesome.

Did Ivanhoe so why not Sir William Marshal. 8) I'd think it would be a good story line. Especially a focus on early years.
