    Richard 1 as portrayed here is what I imagine John of Gaunt and Edward 4th to have looked like. All three were Plantagenets, and all said to be tall, athletic and “battle fit”, fair haired, blue/green eyed and good looking.

      When Salahoddin al ayoubi took Jerusalem back he released all the non fighting christians and let them take with them all the richesses they could carry with them. He even provided security for them until they reached other christian cities. He even made a mistake by releasing the governor of Jerusalem(i don't remember that bastard's name) after keeping him in prison for several months. That traitor rejoined his wife(previously released) and organised another army to attack muslims even if he gave his word to go back to France and not participate in any military actions in the future.

      It was the pop Urbain 2 who called for the crusades in France in order to solve the many social, economical and political problems of Europe during those times. After recieving a message from the head of the orthodox church in constantinople.
      Little did the orthodox know that the crusaders were going to go into a killing spree throught eastern europe and the anadole killing jews and othodox christians and stealing their belongings.
      As for the muslim Saljuks, they were worthy opponents who fought valiantly against the crusaders and won many battles.

    It's intriguing to compare these images with our popular expectations: while our typical, cinematic image of "Prince John" seems quite accurate, our image of Richard the Lionheart looks more like Saladin, and the real Richard looks more like the way we'd cast Robin Hood!

    The tomb sculptures in Rouen and Fontevraud are almost certainly imaginary portraits dating from about 10-20 years after Richard's death. Richard's hair color is described as being between red and yellow. He almost certainly would not have had a side part, a hairstyle almost completely unknown before the 19th century; more likely it would have been parted in the middle and brushed in loose waves to form a frame around the face, reaching down to about the jawline.

    • @CommonSwindler
      @CommonSwindler 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@mikesaunders4775 This is untrue. Cnut is a fascinating character to be sure, but his claim to greatness is easily overshadowed by Henry II. Henry is the originator of the embryo of English Common Law, a legal system which no less than 35 percent of the world’s population directly interact within daily.
      He took an active role in drafting legislation such as the Assizes of Clarendon 1166, Northampton 1179, and the Forests 1184 which codified English royal legal authority and formed the basis of law for the English-speaking world up until the present day. He also anticipated our own legal positions with legislation like the Constitutions of Clarendon (1164) which proposed that canon law was not superior to the secular law of the land. (Think about Catholic priests who molest children. Should they not be punished by the secular law of the land? If you are rational you will agree that they should. This principle is first proposed by Henry II.)
      He was an extraordinarily formidable personality, incredibly learned and witty yet passionate and energetic. He displayed the qualities of an Alexander or Augustus with how he ceaselessly devoted his energies to administration and traveled from one corner of his empire to another, holding it together by sheer force of will. Now finally, in England, though his empire itself would prove ephemeral, a royal legal basis would generally hold the nation together for centuries.
      What can Cnut say for himself to match these elephantine achievements? Nothing. Cnut was a fascinating king, debatably a great one. However no historian worth their salt would ever contend that Henry II was not a great king; many would and have argued, perhaps rightly, that he was England’s greatest king. We in the English-speaking world, stand in his shadow.

    Thank you for making such a stunning video of Richard. This is of great importance to me because I'm a direct descendent. It provides an amazing opportunity to teach my pre-teen history and lineage with more than a basic textbook picture. I have just Subscribed and look forward to seeing your other work.
    Edit: Sadly, I feel I need to leave a disclaimer because of the tension and predigest in the world today. My expressed excitement of Richard's CGI and my shared genealogy is not because I necessarily share his beliefs or actions. I also in no way feel that I am superior to any other human being. I'm merely a history buff who is interested in family ancestry.
