1
00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:02,510
Eleanor's imprisonment was over.
2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Henry had recognised Richard as his heir and Richard intended Eleanor to rule England.
3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,400
He had more important things to do... crusade.
4
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:23,680
Eleanor had been on crusade when she was young as the wife of the King of France.
5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,160
But also as the leader of her own feudal army... and now the Saracens had reconquered Jerusalem.
6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,040
"Richard the Romantic" "Richard the Lionheart"...
7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,020
was a totally fearless warrior whose whole upbringing had been based on Eleanor's idea of chivalry
8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,820
Poet and swordsman, Christian knight and tournament hero... A handsome and dashing leader of armies.
9
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:53,040
Richard tried to live out the fantasy life of one of the heroes of Arthurian literature.
10
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,460
from the stories told and sung in the Court of Love.
11
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,000
He came to London for his coronation,
12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,280
but only so that he could collect the funds to pay for his great crusade to recover Jerusalem from Saladin.
13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,520
He went off on his crusade declaring that he would sell London if her could find a buyer.
14
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:22,520
The crusade itself, the "Third Crusade" was a sequence of great heroic and daring actions
15
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320
that completely failed to conquer Jerusalem...
16
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:28,900
associated with bursts of extreme brutality!
17
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:35,200
Saladin quite rightly pointed out that while Richard might be able to get an army into the city...
18
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,020
If he wanted to hold on to it, he would have to spend the rest of his life there
19
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:45,080
The two men never met, but they fascinated and respected each other.
20
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,360
When Richard was ill, Saladin sent his doctor.
21
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,960
The final truce ensured that Christian pilgrims would be free to visit the Holy City.
22
00:01:54,060 --> 00:02:00,060
But that had actually been Saladin's policy before the crusade even began.
23
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Richard typically decided to make the journey home in 1192 into an adventure.
24
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,620
Travelling alone and in disguise.
25
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,560
That was how he got captured and ended up imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria,
26
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,340
a man he'd repeatedly insulted during the crusade.
27
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,320
The King of England had been found in an inn in Vienna, unconvincingly disguised as a kitchen knave.
28
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,720
The ransom Leopold demanded was £100,000, about eight years income to the exchequer.
29
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,900
Richard's recklessness was crippling for the Kingdom... and eventually fatal for him
30
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,620
As a storybook hero, he always seems to have expected a happy ending,
31
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:45,200
and would sometimes even forget to put on armour
32
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,300
That was how he got killed in the end, taking a stupid chance at an unimportant siege in 1199.
33
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:57,900
A crossbow bolt wound became infected... While he was dying, the man who'd loosed the shot
34
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,200
was captured and delivered to him and Richard carried on behaving as though he was in a storybook,
35
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,020
making a great gesture of releasing the man and giving him money.
36
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:13,140
Richard had no heir... He named his brother the 32 year old John as his successor.
37
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:20,580
Richard aged 41 died in his mother's arms. England's hero King who detested the country
38
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600
and had spent just six months of his reign there.
39
00:03:23,760 --> 00:00:00,000
And the man who'd killed him was rearrested and flayed alive.
