King Richard the Lionheart's sword is often referred to as "Joyeuse," although historical records regarding its exact name and characteristics can vary. Joyeuse is traditionally associated with the legendary sword of Charlemagne, but it was also used as a title for swords belonging to other prominent figures. Richard's sword symbolizes his reputation as a warrior king during the Crusades. Its legendary status has contributed to the romanticized image of Richard in history and literature.
Means "brave power", derived from the Germanic elements ric "power, rule" and hard "brave, hardy". The Normans introduced this name to Britain. It was borne by three kings of England including Richard the Lionheart, leader of the Third Crusade in the 12th century. Two German opera composers, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss, have also had this name.
