Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, left England shortly after becoming king in 1189 to participate in the Third Crusade. His primary motivation was to reclaim Jerusalem from Muslim control and to fulfill his commitment to the Crusader cause. Additionally, he aimed to strengthen his position and reputation as a warrior king in the eyes of his subjects and allies. This departure left the governance of England in the hands of regents during his absence.
