概要

Richard I—the Lionheart—emerges as a dazzling medieval warrior whose legend far outshines his record as a ruler: brilliant in battle, largely absent from England, and happy to treat the kingdom as a cash source for his campaigns.

He led the Third Crusade with tactical skill and won fame, but financed it through heavy taxation and sales of offices; his subsequent capture and enormous ransom only deepened England’s financial strain while his brother John schemed at home.

Richard dies from a crossbow wound at a minor siege, leaving a chivalric myth but weakened governance and a troubled succession—an epic figure whose glory came at his country’s expense.
