Did Richard the lion heart get married?

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.

Was Richard the lionheart a hero?

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.

Which crusades did Richard the lion-heart lead?

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.
