Event Details

BBC’s The Greatest Knight tells the story of William Marshal, the “greatest knight of the Middle Ages.” If you’ve never heard of him, it may be because Marshal is “a forgotten hero of English history.” Marshal was an English soldier and statesman who served four kings of England in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Historian Thomas Asbridge reveals how Marshal fought in battles across Europe, survived court intrigue and exile, put his seal to the Magna Carta, and remained loyal to those he served through disaster and victory.

Presented by Professor of Psychology, Seth Senecal.

Documentary Discussions is a series of documentary film viewings followed by a discussion to explore a wide variety of topics and matters of interest. Held on the last Saturday of the month.
