Which crusades did Richard the lion-heart lead?

Asked by Wiki User

Richard I was one of the kings leading the Third Crusade, which was from 1189 to 1192. He left for the crusade rather late, in the summer of 1190. On the way to the Holy Land, his fleet had problems, dispersing it and wrecking some of the ships on Cyprus. The king of Cyprus took the treasure in the treasure ship and imprisoned Richards sister and intended wife. Richard answered this by conquering Cyprus, freeing the hostages, and making himself king. He then landed in the Holy Land, fought in the crusades themselves, realized that he would not be able to hold Jerusalem, even if he could conquer it, and retreated. He was captured by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on his way home and was held until his mother paid ransom, which she raised in her own duchy of Aquitaine.

His courage and military prowess, even before he became king, was famous, earning him the nickname of Cœur de Lion (Lion's heart). By the young age of 16 he was already commanding troops in France, putting down rebellions, and he led the Third Crusade (after Philip II of France returned to his kingdom), scoring valuable victories over Saladin, including ending the Siege of Acre.

RICHARD IS A CHEAT THE ONLY REASON HE BEAT SALADIN IS BECAUSE SALADIN ALREADY FOUGHT IN TWO CRUSADES

When did Richard the Lion-heart invade Cyprus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1191, but he did not really invade it. Part of his fleet (but the part containing his treasure chests) stranded in Cyprus after a storm in 1191 and Cyprus' ruler Isaac Komnenos - following ancient custom - had seized everything in the wrecked ships. This also included Richard's fiancée and his sister who had been travelling on them, although this seemed to concern Richard less at the time.

On learning what had happened, Richard took the rest of his ships to Cyprus and after a friendly meeting with Cyprus' ruler got his money and the ladies back. After that, Isaac Komnenos found to his dismay that Richard showed no eagerness to continue his journey and fight the infidels in the Holy Land but chose to live comfortably off the ruler's hospitality, while his troops harrassed the local population.

Finally Isaac Komnenos got so tired of his unwanted guests that he ordered Richard and his troops off his island. A piqued Richard then reacted by conquering the island in a matter of days.
