Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the tumultuous events of the late 12th century, focusing on the reign of Richard I, the Lionheart, King of England. The author, a monk with a keen eye for detail and a flair for storytelling, offers a unique perspective on the political and social landscape of the time. The narrative begins with Richard's ascension to the throne in 1189 and follows his journey to the Holy Land on the Third Crusade. The author vividly depicts the challenges Richard faced, including raising funds for the crusade, quelling rebellions, and navigating complex relationships with other European rulers such as Philip II of France and Tancred, King of Sicily. The book delves into the power struggles, political intrigues, and military campaigns that shaped Richard's reign and the broader historical context of the crusades. Through the author's insightful observations, readers gain a deeper understanding of medieval society, the motivations of key figures, and the complexities of power and faith during this pivotal period. The book explores themes of ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and the enduring quest for both earthly and spiritual dominion. The author's vivid descriptions and insightful commentary provide a valuable lens through which to examine the legacies of Richard the Lionheart and the enduring impact of the crusades on European history and culture.
