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.
King Richard I of England, commonly known as Richard the Lionheart, became king after the death of his father, King Henry II, in 1189. He was the eldest surviving son and was crowned at Westminster Abbey shortly thereafter. Richard's reign was marked by his focus on the Crusades and military campaigns, particularly his prominent role in the Third Crusade. His leadership and reputation as a warrior helped solidify his legacy as one of England's most famous kings.
Saladin felt quite neutrally about the oposing side during the Crusades. Some people found it odd, but Saladin would send baskets of fruit and water over to Richard the Lion-Heart during their war. Saladin even gave King Richard some ice when he had a migrane from the intense heat of the Holy Land. Saladin wasn't as reckless and violent as King Richard the Lion-Heart, he was very peacful and as seen in the end of the 4th Crusade, Saladin and King Richard decided to commend to a treaty.
Richard the Lionheart.
Yes
It was King Richard I of England.
King Richard and King John
Richard Lionhearth
third crusades
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....
The Christian commander and king Richard the Lionheart, or Richard the 1st, was the one that ended the Crusade of Kings, also known as the 3rd Crusade.
Probably Richard the Lion heart.
King Richard I, spent most of his reign abroad fighting on crusades. He died 6th April 1199 (aged 41) Chalus, Duchy of Aquitaine.
King Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart, had no legitimate children. He was married to Berengaria of Navarre, but they did not have any offspring. Richard's focus on his military campaigns and the Crusades likely contributed to his lack of heirs.
