William marshal
William Marshal, the renowned English knight and statesman from the 12th century, was often described as being tall and imposing, though exact measurements are not documented. Historical accounts suggest he was around 6 feet tall, which was considered quite tall for his time. His stature, combined with his skill in combat and chivalric reputation, contributed to his legendary status in medieval history.
Guillaume le Maréchal (William the Marshal) was an Anglo-Norman knight, Earl of Pembroke and Lord Marshal of England. In the years 1183 to 1185 he went to Jerusalem and returned to England but he does not appear to have taken part in any fighting, so calling him a crusader might be stretching the point.
Field-Marshal Sir William Slim has written: 'Defeat into victory'
