King Richard I (1157-1199) in prison
King Richard I (1157-1199) in prison. 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart or Cœur de Lion, during his time in prison. Despite his short reign from 1189 to 1199 as the King of England, Richard's military prowess had already earned him a formidable reputation prior to his accession. Renowned for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield, he was often depicted wearing royal robes that symbolized his regal status. However, this particular image captures a different side of Richard's life - one marked by captivity and confinement. The somber atmosphere is conveyed through the subdued colors and solemn expressions worn by both the king and soldiers surrounding him. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even great rulers can face adversity. Richard spent little time ruling England directly due to his involvement in various conflicts abroad. In 1190, he embarked on the Third Crusade and later fought tirelessly to reclaim territories in France from 1194 onwards. Despite spending much of his reign away from home soil, Richard's legacy endures through history primarily due to his military exploits rather than numerical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving captured by The Print Collector, we are reminded of King Richard I's resilience amidst hardship and imprisonment – an enduring testament to a monarch whose name remains etched in memory not only for being a ruler but also for embodying courage on countless battlefields.
