What did King John think of himself and King Richard?
Richard I the Lionheart Richard the Lionheart was the son of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and the second king in the Plantagenet line. Richard was far more interested in his holdings in France and in his Crusading endeavors than he was in governing England, where he spent about six months of his ten-year reign. In fact, he nearly depleted the treasury left by his father in order to fund his Crusade. Though he scored some successes in the Holy Land, Richard and his fellow Crusaders failed to meet the objective of the Third Crusade, which was to recapture Jerusalem from Saladin. http://www.carpenoctem.tv/military/lionh… http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/plantag… http://www.midi-france.info/190202_engla…
