The traditional image of King Richard the Lionheart, the second Plantagenet King of England, has come to us through the centuries as a glorious crusader and knight.
Captured by the Austrian Emperor Leopold, he was later rescued by the young trouvador Blondel, who discovered Richard when singing a famous ballad.
King Richard was called "Lionheart" at the beginning of the Third Crusade , when King Phillip of France was compared with a lamb and Richard with a lion.
King Richard the Lionheart convinced his officers in Winchester, around a round table, of having belonged to King Arthur´s legend and having the magical sword Excalibur.
Richard was a generous knight and a wise politician , but above all a great soldier. His own personal ability was a source of inspiration to his men in battle.
For all his bravery, King Richard the Lionheart died foolishly. King Richard the Lionheart thought that an archer who was aiming at him was waving. When King Richard returned the wave, the archer shot him.
