Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In 1152, when William was probably about six years old, his father John Marshal switched sides during the period of civil war in England often referred to as The Anarchy. The civil war was between King Stephen and Empress Matilda, both whom claimed the Monarchy. According to one chronicler, when King Stephen besieged Newbury Castle, Stephen used the young William as a hostage to ensure that John kept a promise to surrender the castle. John however, used the time alloted to reinforce the castle and alert Matilda''s forces. When Stephen ordered John to surrender immediately or watch as he hanged William in front of the castle, John replied that he go ahead, saying "I still have the hammer and the anvil with which to forge still more and better sons!" Fortunately for the child, Stephen could not bring himself to hang young William.
