The Young Henry's affairs took a turn for the worse in 1182. He fell out with William Marshal, the leader of his tournament "mesnée". The unknown author of "L'Histoire de Guillaume le Maréchal" suggests that Marshal's disgrace was because he had indulged in a clandestine affair with Queen Margaret. David Crouch, one of the Marshal's principal modern biographers, argues that the charge against William was actually one of "lèse majesté", brought on by Marshal's own arrogance and greed. By this account, the charge of adultery was only introduced in the "History of William Marshal" as a distraction from the real charges, of which he was most probably guilty. Though the Young King sent his wife early in 1183 to the French court, it was done most likely to keep her safe in the impending war with his brother, Richard, rather than because she was in disgrace.
