A disguised King Richard I (1157-1199) taken by Leopold, Duke of Austria
A disguised King Richard I (1157-1199) taken by Leopold, Duke of Austria. Richard was King of England from 1189 to 1199. He was known as Richard the Lionheart, or C?ur de Lion, even before his accession because of his military reputation. He spent little of his reign in England, setting out on the Third Crusade in 1190, and from 1194 onwards fighting to regain territories in France. He remains one of the very few Kings of England remembered by reputation, not number

A Captured Moment - King Richard I in Disguise
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we are transported back to the medieval era, where a disguised figure stands before us. This enigmatic character is none other than King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart or Cœur de Lion. The photograph was taken by Leopold, Duke of Austria, during a time when Richard's reputation as a fearless military leader preceded his reign. King Richard I reigned over England from 1189 to 1199 but spent little time within his own country due to his adventurous spirit and thirst for conquest. In 1190, he embarked on the Third Crusade and later engaged in battles to reclaim territories in France from 1194 onwards. This rare image captures the essence of an elusive monarch who remains etched in history not by mere numbers but through legendary tales of valor and chivalry. It serves as a testament to King Richard's enduring legacy that even today he is remembered for his military prowess rather than simply being another king. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery while emphasizing the timeless nature of this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but wonder about the circumstances surrounding its capture - what disguise did King Richard choose? What secrets lie behind that mask? Through this remarkable photograph preserved by Heritage Images, we are granted a glimpse into the life and persona of one of England's most celebrated kings – an everlasting symbol of bravery and adventure
