Today, 826 years ago, on April 6, 1199 (March 9, 1199 in the lunar calendar), King Richard I of England, also known as the Lion Psychology, died. Richard I (September 8, 1157-April 6, 1199) was the second son of King Henry II of England. He succeeded his father and became the second king of the Plantagenet Dynasty. He reigned from 1189 to 1199. He was also Duke of Normandy (also known as Richard IV), Duke of Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou. He always leads the battlefield, as brave and tenacious as a lion, so he is nicknamed Richard the Lionheart. Richard lived as a teenager in Aquitaine, France, with his mother Eleanor. In 1168 he was made Duke of Aquitaine. In 1184, due to the death of his eldest brother, he became heir to the throne. From 1188 to 1189, he colluded with King Philip II of France to launch a rebellion against his father and successfully seized the throne. The reason is that his father changed his youngest son John as crown prince. In 1190 Richard and Philip II launched the Third Crusade. In 1191, they occupied Cyprus and captured Acre, but their march into Jerusalem was unsuccessfully resisted by Saladin. However, the heroic sentiment and demeanor between Richard and Saladin have been widely spread and become a beautiful talk in later generations. In September 1192, Richard negotiated peace with Saladin on the condition that Christians would be free to enter and leave Jerusalem. But on his way home, he was captured by Duke Leopold V of Austria and handed over to the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. The emperor imprisoned him in the hill castle of Triphiles. Richard's mother Eleanor and Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, fought hard and finally redeemed Richard in 1194 for 150,000 marks. In 1196, Richard and Philip II had conflicts and fought, which led to a tax uprising in London. In 1199, Richard went to France to suppress the rebellion in Aquitaine. He took the lead in the same style. Unfortunately, he was killed by an arrow and handed the throne to his younger brother John before he died. Richard served as king of England for ten years, and fought abroad for a long time. At home, he only spent six months, and most of his internal affairs were managed by Walter. He didn't know English, and his time in China was very short. He fought everywhere and was captured, which caused a heavy financial burden to the people. However, the people appreciated his medieval chivalry. Secondly, he often went abroad, so the power of the aristocratic family expanded, which laid the foundation for the future development of *. Richard's queen was Berengaria of Navarre (c.1165/1170-1230), childless. Therefore, historians question the essence of this marriage, and even suspect that Richard may be homosexual. It is rumored that the object is King Philip II of France, who participated in the Third Crusade together, and this matter is also talked about in the movie Winter Lion. Richard's story has been brought to the screen many times: The Winter Lion, directed by Anthony Harvey, starring Peter Otto, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, Zun Castle, Nigel Terry, Timothy Dalton and Jane Merrow. Richard is played by Anthony Hopkins, who is also making his film debut. Comment: As a king, it is commendable to take the lead and regard death as home.
