Synopsis "Richard the Lionheart"
Richard I, the Lionheart, remains forever (and perhaps wrongly) the mythical king of England who preferred to wage war than to rule over his empire. The familiar epithet conveys all the principal features of his indomitable character: courage, valor, prowess, the pursuit of glory, the thirst for fame, generosity in war and peace, a sense of honor combined with a sort of haughty dignity made up of both arrogance and pride. In this book, Jean Flori examines both Richard's role as prince and king in history in a straightforward chronological approach to Richard's life, and also analyzes the different and sometimes controversial elements which, for the chroniclers of his day, helped to make Richard a true model of chivalry. Among the questions addressed are: What influences formed Richard's character and determined his behavior?; Why did this image of Richard as a king and knight so quickly supplant all others, creating a quasi-definitive point of reference?
