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.

Achievements of Richard the Lionheart?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and No.

Yes, because he was an amazing warrior. Richard was seen to the whole of Christendom as a hero for going on the Third Crusade and attempting to recapture Jerusalem back from the Muslims. However, he didn't return entirely successful - only being able to make a treaty with the Muslim leader, Saladin, where Christians could visit the Jerusalem and keep the coastal towns of the Holy Land. Unfortunately, it only last a few years from the death of Saladin and Richard. But, he was still seen as a brilliant king, amazing strategic mind.

No, because he was King of England, however he only spent six months of his ten year reign in England and sucked all the money dry. He even stated that 'I would sell London if i could find anybody rich enought to buy it.' So, he had a bit of a problem with money.V

Did Richard the lion heart get married?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

King Richard I married Berengaria of Navarre (a Spanish princess) on 12 May 1191 at Limassol, Cyprus, while Richard was on his way to join the 3rd Crusade.

Berengaria was Spanish, a direct descendant of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (El Cid). Richard was Anglo-Norman and spoke only Anglo-Norman French and it is doubtful that they saw much of each other after the wedding. In 1193 Richard was imprisoned in Germany on his return through Europe, while Berengaria went to France and campaigned to raise the huge ransom demanded for his release. Eventually Richard returned to England, but Berengaria did not join him - she is the only Queen of England never to set foot in the country while her husband was king.

She lived at Le Mans in France, but it is believed that Berengaria did come to England after Richard's death to enquire about the payment of her pension money which King John was withholding. She returned to Le Mans, eventually becoming a nun and joining the convent there until her death in 1230 when she was buried at the Abbey of Le Mans.

She remains one of the least-known Queens of England and perhaps one of the most neglected by a King of England.

Who was Richard the Lionheart?

Asked by Wiki User

Richard the Lionheart was King Richard the First, ruler of Britain 1189-99 AD.

You will also find references to Richard Coeur de Lion - this is the French wording for Lionhearted.

He is the king referred to in the Robin Hood tales - his brother was King John - often portrayed as the evil brother, in the same stories.

Although King of England, Richard could not speak English. He was instrumental in the 3rd crusade & fought against Saladin in Outremer. He spent about 9 months in England during his 10 year reign, for part of which he was held ransom in Austria when captured by the someone he had insulted, and the ransom was huge - 100,000 marks, i think. He was killed by a crossbow bolt laying siege to a castle in France.

Was Richard the lionheart a hero?

Asked by Wiki User

Richard the lionheart was heroic in the way he treated his mother, as Richard was the favourite son. Richards father had been unfaithful to his wife and often had affairs. Richard stood up against Henry in regards of his other. Richard supported most of his family in military and personal terms. But he especially liked his youngest sister. Richard had been very forgiving as he forgave his brother John for taking over England, which was very generous. Many sources say that Richard maay have been homosexual, if so then this leads to show that Richard was in fact not as faithful to his wife as assumed.

Richard was feared and admired by many allies and enemies, including duke Leopold and Saladin. Richard's bravery in battle was astounding although behind the scenes, Richard had a hot temper which often led to stupid mistakes, Revenge and anger. As in the flag incident, Richard himself threw the flag off the battlements, as he said that 'the flag of a mere duke is not worthy to fly with that of a kings'. This is just one result of his anger and hot temper, but he can also be swallowed by pride, as when he refused medical services while wounded at his last battle, a siege in France. But one of his greatest feats of forgiveness was while he was dying, he asked the man who had shot him why? The man responded saying that Richard killed his brothers and Parents, Hearing this Richard forgave the man and died.

Although Richard could be brave and admirable at times some of his deeds, and acts of anger show him to be the man who he really is. Not that of a hero.
