Description
Richard I (Richard the Lionheart) with (Steve Tibble)
In this episode of the England’s Kings and Queens Podcast, host Daz is joined by author and historian Dr Steve Tibble to discuss the life of King Richard I
Richard I of England (1157–1199), known as Richard the Lionheart, was King of England from 1189 to 1199. He was the third son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine and was not initially expected to inherit the throne, but became king after the deaths of his elder brothers.
Richard is best known for his military leadership during the Third Crusade (1189–1192), launched after the fall of Jerusalem. He commanded Christian forces in key campaigns across the Holy Land, earning a reputation for exceptional bravery and skill in warfare. His exploits during this campaign ultimately secured him the enduring title of “Richard the Lionheart.”
