«Guillermo el Mariscal» is the historical biography by Georges Duby, published in 1996 by Ediciones Altaya in hardcover (175 pages, in Spanish).
The book narrates the career of William Marshal (1145?-1219), a knight of modest origins who rose in rank and honors in the service of the Anglo-Norman aristocracy. Drawing on a 13th-century biographical poem, Georges Duby reconstructs the world of chivalry, the ritual of war, and the values of loyalty and heroism of that society.
It is part of the Grandes obras de historia collection. The French original, Guillaume le Maréchal, was published in 1976.
For readers interested in European medieval history and biographies of knights.
