Richard Coeur De Lion
Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King of England from 1189 until his death in 1199. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Gascony, Lord of Cyprus, and Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes, and was overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was the third of five sons of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and seemed unlikely to become king, but all his brothers except the youngest, John, predeceased their father. Richard is known as Richard Cœur de Lion (Norman French: ''Le quor de lion'') or Richard the Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior. The troubadour Bertran de Born also called him Richard Oc-e-Non ( Occitan for ''Yes and No''), possibly from a reputation for terseness. By the age of 16, Richard had taken command of his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father. Richard was an important Christian commander during the Third Crusade, leadi ...

Richard Coeur-de-lion (opera)
''Richard Cœur-de-lion'' (''Richard the Lionheart'') is an opéra comique, described as a ''comédie mise en musique'', by the Belgian composer André Grétry. The French text was by Michel-Jean Sedaine. The work is generally recognised as Grétry's masterpiece and one of the most important French ''opéras comiques''.

On his way home from the Third Crusade, King Richard has been imprisoned by Leopold, Archduke of Austria. The king's faithful squire Blondel seeks him out disguised as a blind troubadour.

Richard Coeur De Lion (statue)
''Richard Coeur de Lion'' is a Grade II listed equestrian statue of the 12th-century English monarch Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, who reigned from 1189 to 1199. It stands on a granite pedestal in Old Palace Yard outside the Palace of Westminster in London, facing south towards the entrance to the House of Lords. It was created by Baron Carlo Marochetti, an Italian sculptor whose works were popular with European royalty and the nobility, though often less well regarded by critics and the artistic establishment. The statue was first produced in clay and displayed at The Great Exhibition in 1851, where it was located outside the west entrance to the Crystal Palace. It was well received at the time and two years later Queen Victoria and Prince Albert headed a list of illustrious subscribers to a fund that aimed to raise money for the casting of the statue in bronze. Although the money was duly raised and the bronze cast of the statue was finally completed in 18 ...

Richard Coer De Lyon
''Richard Coer de Lyon'' is a Middle English romance which gives a fictionalised account of the life of Richard I, King of England, concentrating on his crusading exploits. It influenced Shakespeare's '' King John'' and Walter Scott's ''The Talisman''. Date and authorship ''Richard'' was written around the beginning of the 14th century, and is based on a lost Anglo-Norman romance dating from c. 1230–1250. The name of the Middle English author is unknown, but he is thought to have been from south-east England, and he may also have written the romances '' Of Arthour and of Merlin'' and ''King Alisaunder''. Sources ''Richard'' resembles the chansons de geste genre that, like the Song of Roland, describe epic battles between opponents (usually Christian vs. Saracen). As Peter Larkin notes, "Many of the episodes resemble accounts from such crusade chronicles as Ambroise’s ''Estoire de la guerre sainte'' and the ''Itinerarium perigrinorum et gesta regis Ricardi''." And, ...
