Publisher's Summary
Do you want to learn more about the Richard the Lionheart (as Richard I of England is remembered as) but don’t have time to read huge, long biographies? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of his life.
There have been some truly great Kings and Queens of England, and by equal measure several truly appalling monarchs to have made their indelible mark on history. Many factors influence public opinion on whether a sovereign has been good or bad, hero or villain, sinner or saint, and on just a few occasions, it’s difficult to make a judgement either way. This is absolutely the dilemma that surrounds King Richard the First, the Lionheart, who could transform from a brave, chivalrous crusader knight into a cruel despot within the space of a heartbeat.
Over time, Richard the Lionheart has become a fascinating figure in Great Britain’s history, and his worldwide travels through lands that are still, to this very day, at the heart of global conflict also bestow upon him an international resonance. This history journal will set out on a journey of discovery to find the man behind the myth and explore, expand, and expose the legend that is Lionheart.
