Hey, I was excited to do this contest as, last year in history I had just finished medieval studies, I HATE history, but I like contests haha, so I went looking for someone when I saw an article that I remembered the name.
This is what made me choose to do this guy
Richard the Lionheart (1157-1195)
He was the favored son of Eleanor of Aquitane and a central figure in the third crusades. He was the Duke and Lord of many various lands such as Normandy and eventually became King of England. The military battles of the third crusades are his largest claim to fame yet he never achieved his goal of recapturing Jerusalem. He is also well known for some other things including the fact that he became to be known as the first King who was also a knight. And he spent much time and resources building fortresses and castles throughout his lands.
