Richard the Lionheart revolted against his father, King Henry II of England, due to a combination of personal ambition and familial tensions. Richard, along with his brothers, sought greater power and independence from their father's authoritarian rule, which often favored their younger brother John. The desire for control over their own territories and the influence of their mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, played significant roles in the rebellion. Ultimately, this conflict reflected the broader struggles for power and succession within the Plantagenet dynasty.

Was Richard the lion heart a nice man?

He was certainly a brave man, who could inspire. On the other hand, he rebelled against his father (who was a lot more generous to his children than many other kings) and had little concern for his kingdom when he was on the throne. Worst on his reputation was that he slaughtered thousands of prisoners of wars in Acre.
