Biography

Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199), known as Richard the Lionheart or Richard Cœur de Lion (Old Norman French: Quor de Lion) because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior, was King of England from 1189 until his death in 1199. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Gascony; Lord of Cyprus; Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes; and was overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was the third of five sons of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and was therefore not expected to become king, but his two elder brothers predeceased their father. By the age of 16, Richard had taken command of his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father. Richard was an important Christian commander during the Third Crusade, leading the campaign after the departure of Philip II of France. Despite achieving several victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin, he was ultimately forced to end his campaign without retaking Jerusalem. Richard probably spoke both French and Occitan, and based on the testimony of Roger of Howden, most likely understood Middle English. He was born in England, where he spent his childhood; before becoming Duke of Aquitaine, however, he lived most of his adult life in the Duchy of Aquitaine, in the southwest of France. Following his accession to the crown of England, he spent very little time, perhaps as little as six months, in England. Most of his reign was spent on Crusade, in captivity, or actively defending the French portions of the Angevin Empire. Though regarded as a model king and a paragon of chivalry during the four centuries after his death and viewed as a pious and chivalrous hero by his subjects, he was later perceived by historians as a ruler who treated the kingdom of England merely as a source of revenue for his armies rather than a land entrusted to his stewardship. This "Little England" view of Richard has come under increasing scrutiny from modern scholars who regard it as anachronistic and point out his wider continental responsibilities as a ruler. Richard I is an enduring iconic figure both in England and in France.

In1173, they, in conjunction with a number of nobles of England and Normandy,including the kings of France and Scotland, formed a league against KingHenry. He subdued the rebellion and showed leniency toward all except theKing of the Scots, who was compelled to submit to a more humiliating vassal-age than before, although Henrys successor allowed him to buy back his free-dom, with only a shadowy lordship remaining over Scotland. But soon the quarrelsome sons were wrangling again with one another, aswell as with their father. Henry the younger died in 1183, begging hisfathers forgiveness; Geoffrey was pardoned, rebelled once more, and died in1186. Richard was quiet for a time, but it was against his nature, and in1188 he fled to the King of France for protection, and then seized upon hisfathers foreign dominions. Henry made only a weak resistance, and thenbowed to his enemies.

He was so shocked and grieved thathe fell into a fever and died in July, 1189. The work done by Henry H. was the laying of the foundations of a justgovernment in his country. It is said he levelled more than a thousand of thecastles which had been illegally built during the reign of Stephen, and whichhad caused widespread woe and suffering in England. He abolished the debasedcoinage and substituted pieces of silver of full weight and value. When hisbarons refused to furnish men to fight for his continental possessions, he com-promised by accepting the scutage, which gave him the means of hiringmercenaries. This was afterward supplemented by the passage of a law reviv-ing the national militia, and virtually made him independent of the barons.After much fighting in Ireland, Henry went thither in 1171, and his sover-eignty was ge Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
