When people think of Richard the Lionheart they recall the scene at the end of every Robin Hood epic when he returns from theCrusades to punish his treacherous brother John and the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham. In reality Richard detested England andthe English, was deeply troubled by his own sexuality and was noted for greed, not generosity, and for murder rather than mercy.In youth Richard showed no interest in girls; instead, a taste for cruelty and a rapacity for gold that would literally be the death of him. To save his own skin, he repeatedly abandoned his supporters to an evil fate, and his indifference to women saw the part of queen at his coronation played by his formidable mother, Queen Eleanor.His brief reign bankrupted England twice, destabilised the powerful empire his parents had put together and set the scene for his brother's ruinous rule.
