I would not give a YouTube video a 2nd thought. Anyone can post a YouTube video saying anything and everything on any historical topic. You see it all the time on the various political topics. I would not even give Wikipedia much credence without ample footnotes and sources listed that could be traced.
You need a peer reviewed source or a respected and reputable historian or author.

There are many candidates for the title of the greatest knight who ever lived, depending on the criteria you use. Some notable figures include Sir William Marshal, Sir Lancelot du Lac, Sir Galahad, and Sir Gawain. Each of them achieved legendary status through their valor, chivalry, and deeds in various Arthurian legends and historical accounts. Ultimately, it depends on the perspective and criteria one uses to determine greatness.
