William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (c. 1190-April 6, 1231) was the son of the famous William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and was born in Normandy probably during the winter of 1190/91. From 1203-1212, he was a hostage at the court of King John for his father's behaviour. William succeeded his father at his death in 1219, both as Earl of Pembroke and as Lord Marshal of England. He married Alice de Bethune, daughter of his father’s friend Baldwin de Bethune, in September 1214. The marriage ended before 1215, probably with the death of Alice. In 1224 he then married Eleanor of England, youngest daughter of King John of England and Isabella of Angouleme, thereby strengthening the family's connection with the Plantagenets.
