Is Richard the Lionheart truly deserving of the title 'Greatest King of England'?
In this video, we delve into the life of Richard I, a lifelong soldier who often found himself battling rebels in the ancestral lands of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. His father, King Henry II, never anticipated Richard's ascent to the English throne and their tumultuous relationship resulted in rebellions. Richard's decision to embark on the Third Crusade, where he fought to save Acre, Jerusalem, and other Crusader states, led to accusations that he neglected England. Join us as we explore Richard's life during the Crusade, his conquest of Cyprus, the most unconventional wedding in English history, and his legendary battle with Saladin. We aim to separate fact from legend, allowing you to form your own perspective on whether Richard the Lionheart can truly be considered the greatest English king.
