Not a whole lot, but he seemed to enjoy doing it. Richard (the lionhearted) was a great warrior, but he was a lousy king. He was succeeded by his brother, prince John (the evil prince John of the Robin Hood legend), who was actually a much better king that his brother.

Richard the Lionheart, King of England from 1189 to 1199, was known for his military leadership during the Crusades. He was captured and held for ransom by Duke Leopold of Austria during his return from the Third Crusade, and his father, King Henry II of England, had died in 1189 while Richard was on campaign. Richard was eventually freed after a substantial ransom was paid. His reign was marked by continued conflict and efforts to defend his kingdom, but he spent little time in England.
King Richard and King John
It was King Richard I of England.
Richard the Lionheart.
Yes
Richard Lionhearth
yes, of course there was. Richard I, Richard Coeur de Lion, Richard the Lionheart; but it's difficult to say that he left for the Crusades, considering that he was already crusading when he became King, and hardly ever visited England at all. Nor was he the manly, tolerant King of robin Hood legend, being an anti-semitic, homosexual psycopath. Ah, well....

Prince John is the primary antagnoist in the Robin Hood stories. He is the youngest brother to King Richard I, the Lion-Hearted and became king in his own right in 1199. The story is that John overthrew Richard's justicar and claimed the throne as his own in 1191, thinking his brother would never return from the Crusades. It was during that time that he began taxing the people and persecuting anyone who was still loyal to Richard. This gave rise to Robin Hood and his band. The real story isn't far off, though John was never actually siuccessful in claiming the thron until Richard died on his own in 1199.
