So that's one thing is he William Marshall encourages us to act. And I think we should take that lesson. The other thing is that he built such a reputation that he ended up being one of the richest, most powerful people in the world.
And it really was because of reputation. And so there's this great moment where King John of England is such a jerk that the Crown Prince of France has invaded England. Now, the Crown Prince of France is married to John's niece. And so there's a lot of people thinking, that's close enough, right? The king's niece, she can be the queen, close enough.

And John was such a jerk that half the barons of England turned against him. And they're fighting alongside the crown prince of the Dauphin, the crown prince of France. It was Louis.

And he has a son, Henry, who could be Henry III, but he's young. He's like 10 years old. And William Marshall had such respect amongst the nobility that they all got together and they looked at him and they said, are we going with the prince or the boy?
