Richard I was known as Richard the Lionheart due to his skills as a warrior and military commander.
I'm not sure how long he was away but, durig his reign, he was only in England for 10 months. The rest he was fighting in the crusades
It was King Richard I of England.
King Richard and King John
King Richard I, spent most of his reign abroad fighting on crusades. He died 6th April 1199 (aged 41) Chalus, Duchy of Aquitaine.
Richard the Lionheart.
One notable figure who was captured multiple times during the Crusades was King Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart. He was taken prisoner in 1192 by Leopold V of Austria during his return journey from the Third Crusade and later held for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. Richard's capture had significant political ramifications and highlighted the dangers faced by leaders during the Crusades. His eventual release was secured through a substantial ransom, which strained England's finances.
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.
I think you meant who. Who was involved in the crusades were Richard,Edessa,and The 4 nobles
Richard the Lionhearted
Yes
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....
