Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine had many rich possessions, but also a couple of sons. In that period these were usually divided between sons (and not all inherited by the oldest).
Richard had been raised in the Aquitaine, was culturally Southern French and his mother intended him to become ruler of it. When Henry tried to take it from him, he was not pleased (to put it mildly).

How many English kings were named Richard?
Nine, so far to 2011, including Henry the young King who was crowned King of England but was co-regent with his father Henry II. Henry the Young King pre-deceased his father so did not get a 'number' after his name. The current third in line is known as "Harry" a diminutive of Henry, so there is at least a chance there might be another King Henry in this century!
Did Richard the Lionheart kill his father?
The legend is that the nose of Henry II's corpse bled in the presence of his son Richard, suggesting that he caused his father's death. Historically, Richard fought against his father on multiple occasions while Richard's older brother Henry (the Young King) was the nominal ruler of England (young Henry died in 1183). Although they apparently reconciled in 1174, Henry's plan to name his (younger) son John to the throne prompted Richard to join Philip II of France against Henry in 1189, forcing Henry to name Richard his heir. Two days after Henry did so, he died, leaving Richard as king.
