Hint" look up Marshal Law.
"Martial law" is defined by Black's Law Dictionary: "1. The law by which during wartime the army, instead of civil authority, governs a country because of perceived need for military security or public safety. - The military assumes control purportedly until civil authority can be restored. 2. A body of firm, strictly enforced rules that ar eimposed becaues of a perception by the country's rulers that civil government has failed, or might fail, to function. - Martial law is usu[ally] imposed when the rulers foresee an invasion, insurrection, economic collapse, or other breakdown of the rulers' desired social order. 3. The law by which the army in wartime governs foreign territory that it occupies. 4. Loosely, military law."

Since the term isn't MARSHAL law, but rather MARTIAL law, the answer is "No, it's not because of William Marshal."

It's "martial law", not "Marshall law". It means under military rule. That can happen during emergencies, e.g. wars, in cities or in nations.
