Lionheart : the true story of England's crusader king

Boyd, Douglas, 1938-2014
Books, Manuscripts
When people think of Richard the Lionheart they recall the scene at the end of every Robin Hood epic when he returns from the crusade to punish his treacherous brother John and the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham. In reality Richard detested England and the English, was deeply troubled by his own sexuality and was noted for greed, not generosity, and for murder rather than mercy. This book reveals the dark side of England's most celebrated monarch.
