Description

Richard I was crowned King in 1189 and set off almost immediately for the Third Crusade. This campaign marked by warfare among Christians and extraordinary campaigns against the Saracens, left men and women facing new challenges and an uncertain future. As Richard departed, his youngest son John saw an opportunity to conspire with the French king to claim his brother's throne. Meanwhile, two great adversaries emerged: Richard and Saladin. Their mutual respect for each other in both war and diplomacy was remarkable, a profound acknowledgement of a worthy opponent. In Lionheart, Sharon Penman reveals a complex and powerful King Richard - a man who grasped the art of warfare with intelligence and concern for his men's safety, who followed them against all odds.
