King of England, 1189-99
Born in September 1157
Died on the 6th of April 1199
Richard I, King of England, nicknamed "Coeur de Lion" or "Richard the Lionheart", was the third son of King Henry II
By the age of sixteen, Richard had taken command of his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father, King Henry II.
Richard was a central Christian commander during the Third Crusade, leading the campaign after the departure of Philip II of France and scoring considerable victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin, although he did not reconquer Jerusalem.
At the siege to the castle of ChÃlus, in France, he was wounded in the shoulder by a crossbow bolt, and, the wound mortifying from unskilful treatment or his own want of care, he died on the 6th of April 1199.
The most accomplished and versatile representative of his gifted family, Richard was, in his lifetime and long afterwards, a favorite hero with troubadours and romancers.
Famous Arms of King Richard I.
