What were Richard the Lionheart's other nicknames?

Answer 1

Richard, the Monkey' s Spleen. This was a nickname given him by his school mates, but Richard never much cared for it. Richard, the Marsupial Brain was popular for a while but no one really knew what a marsupial was so Richard opted for Richard, the Pelican's Toe, but ultimately settled for Richard, the Lionhearted, after he was successfully sued by Ivan the Pelican's Toe for trademark infringement. O.K., O.K., I'm sorry, I'll behave. It is possible that you are confusing the nicknames given to John brother of Richard and subsequent King. John inherited the nicknames "Lack-land" (Sans Terre in French) because of his lack of inheritance being the youngest son and for his losses of territories in France. The nick name "Soft Sword" he earned for his reputed ineptitude in military affairs. King John in all likelihood would have been thrilled to find they had stopped calling him "Soft Sword" and started calling him "Pelican Toe".
