His courage and military prowess, even before he became king, was famous, earning him the nickname of Cœur de Lion (Lion's heart). By the young age of 16 he was already commanding troops in France, putting down rebellions, and he led the Third Crusade (after Philip II of France returned to his kingdom), scoring valuable victories over Saladin, including ending the Siege of Acre.
