King Richard the Lionheart

Richard I (born September 8, 1157, Oxford, England—died April 6, 1199, Châlus, duchy of Aquitaine) was the duke of Aquitaine (from 1168) and of Poitiers (from 1172) and king of England, duke of Normandy, and count of Anjou (1189–99). His knightly manner and his prowess in the Third Crusade (1189–92) made him a popular king in his own time as well as the hero of countless romantic legends. He has been viewed less kindly by more recent historians and scholars.
