Richard I

The Third Crusade and the Death of the Lionheart
Richard I and other Princes of Europe buried their differences and journeyed to the Holy Land. It was a temporary truce indeed on his way home, in 1193, Richard was captured and imprisoned by one of those Princes, the Duke Leopold of Austria. Finally the Duke sold the king to the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry the Sixth who demanded a huge ransom, twice the annual revenue of the English Crown. The English peoples were taxed and taxed again and Richard finally returned home on 13th March 1194.

He had to leave almost immediately to defend his territories in France against his brother, John and Philip Augustus II of France. He left England in the care of Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury and chief justice.

Richard I never returned to England, he died trying to win treasure in order to continue the defence of his French territories. On his deathbed he declared John, his brother, as his heir.
