What did King Richard 1 of England achieve in the Crusades?

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.


How did King Richard become a king?

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.


How did Saladin feel about the people on the other side of the Crusades?

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.

Was there really a King Richard who left to go to The 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....
