John the Marshall was the Medieval MVK |

Maybe crusader. But William the Marshal was the greatest medieval warrior knight. |
| Nick Bowler | 24 Aug 2017 1:43 p.m. PST |
Greatest is hard to define. But Richard the Lion Heart was the rockstar of his time! |

William Marshall gets my vote. |
| Robert Burke | 24 Aug 2017 3:46 p.m. PST |
Three that come to mind are Robert the Bruce, El Cid, and King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. I came up with my list before I read the article. |

I think on an individual badass basis, I'd go with the Black Douglas. |

Edward IV was pretty tough on the battlefield. |

The Chevalier de Bayard, "chevalier sans peur et sans reproche." |
| KSmyth | 25 Aug 2017 5:46 a.m. PST |
Another vote for Boucicault and Du Guesclin. But lets not forget the English. Sir John Chandos and Edward The Black Prince, a commander at Crecy at age 16. Henry V fought and was wounded at Shrewsbury as a teenager. |

Probably one of those we've never heard of who did great things, fought hard, and died in obscurity because his "betters" took all of the glory he deserved… |

Perhaps Bohemund of Taranto? |

John Talbot, earl of Shrewsbury, died at the battle of Castillon (1453) at the age of at least 65; French legend gave his age as 75 or even 80. He was not wearing armor at Castillon because of an oath made to the French (upon his release from captivity) never to wear armor against them. He was the eminent commander of his time, earning the French epithet, "the English Achilles." William the Conqueror in his time. Bohemond of Taranto, prince of Antioch in his time. Of course the Cid vies for "the greatest" of that same time. It seems that each generation produced "the one" greatest knight. Perhaps, as now, some generations were greater than others, because of the famous times of war that they lived through? |

Sir John Hawkwood: link A fictionalised version of him appears in the Rutger Hauer film 'Flesh and Blood'. |

William the Marshall, John Chandos, James Douglas…..hard to beat those choices. |
