You're History

Richard I is a legend of English and French history. His leadership, fierce aggression and courage in the third and most succesful Holy Crusade earnt him the title "Lionheart."

Lionhearts involvement with the legendary Knights Templar only inforced his legacy, he was responsible for the promotion of Robert De Sable, the greatest Grand Master of the Templars, and their partnership in the crusades overturned the once powerful army of Saladin.

Though he spent little time in England, his iconic image and golden lion crest has been used on British Royal insignia since his death.

Lionheart returns with sword and shield to tear the hearts from his enemies. Tonight their cities will burn.
