Yes and No.
Yes, because he was an amazing warrior. Richard was seen to the whole of Christendom as a hero for going on the Third Crusade and attempting to recapture Jerusalem back from the Muslims. However, he didn't return entirely successful - only being able to make a treaty with the Muslim leader, Saladin, where Christians could visit the Jerusalem and keep the coastal towns of the Holy Land. Unfortunately, it only last a few years from the death of Saladin and Richard. But, he was still seen as a brilliant king, amazing strategic mind.
No, because he was King of England, however he only spent six months of his ten year reign in England and sucked all the money dry. He even stated that 'I would sell London if i could find anybody rich enought to buy it.' So, he had a bit of a problem with money.V

Who spent a total of One Year of his Ten Year Reign actually in England. Some achievement that!.
