  Richard I, the Lionheart, remains (and perhaps wrongly) the mythical king of England who preferred to wage war than to rule his empire. This book examines Richard's role as both prince and king and analyses the different and sometimes controversial elements that, for the chroniclers of his day, helped to make Richard a true model of chivalry.
