William Marshall
Hell yes! William Marshal is reputed to be the only man to ever unhorse Richard the Lionheart in a tourney. He was both a legendary tourney fighter and warrior. The Marshal and El Cid were still scrapping until fairly late in their lives.
If there were a Mount Rushmore of Medieval Fighters, it could be something like:
1) William Marshal
2) Richard the Lionheart
3) El Cid
4) Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, or another figure

Sad
It's Friday. After 5:00. Some of us work for a living and enjoy life after work. There's bigger travesties to yell at the sky about than drinking after work.

His granddaddy, Charles Martel, is the reason that the Umayyad Caliphate did not expand beyond the Iberian peninsula.
ETA: I see this has been covered.
