Fallenstreet01 : if Edward of Woodstock is one of the most successful knights of England, it is due to his supposed "cruelty", as a commander he sacked multiple cities (his "chevauchées") and as a Lord he "unfairly" taxed his possessions and his vassals. His heritage would be far more decisive had he done nothing : 1) His policy severed the connection between the House of Plantagenet and their continental supporters, 2) By catching King John II, he provoked the turning point of the first phase of the Hundred Years War, for the heir to the throne Charles V diplomatic genius just defeated the English : King Edward III renounced the French Crown and finally lost all his conquests and every lit bit of influence on the continent. By "greatest knight" logic, Grand Saber is a rather unknown XV-XVIth French knight, the Chevalier de Bayard.

Saber most prominent trait being their weapons, we could investigate famous swords before searching their ultimate badass and historically determinant wielder.
