Richard I spent less than six months of his ten-year reign in England. He sold offices, towns, and castles to fund his crusade, reportedly saying he would have sold London itself if he could find a buyer. He was a warrior king who largely governed his kingdom by post, and yet the myth of the chivalric Lionheart endures.

This free illustrated guide cuts through the legend. Packed with key dates, facts, and historical context, it covers Richard's reign, his role in the Third Crusade, his capture and ransom by Duke Leopold of Austria, and the political realities his subjects actually lived with. The artwork brings the medieval period to life without softening the edges.

Download it free, print it out, or keep it as a digital reference. It works as a wall poster, a revision aid, or simply something to read if you want the history behind the myth.
