The reign of Richard Coeur de Lion (Richard The Lionheart) was one of the most eventful and colorful in England's long history.
The third son of Henry II, Richard devoted his life to crusading and defending his lands in France - only five months of his ten year reign were spent in England. An outstanding and courageous soldier, he was arrested and imprisoned in Germany in 1193: his brother Prince John tried to seize the crown, and the enduring legend of Robin Hood was born.
