Epilogue. 520 $a "In this book, W.B. Bartlett looks at [Richard's] deeds and achievements in a new light. The result is a ... new portrait of the 'Lionheart' which shows that the king is every bit as remarkable as his medieval contemporaries found him to be. This includes his Muslim enemies, who spoke of him as their most dangerous and gallant opponent. It shows him to be a man badly let down by some of those around him, especially his brother John and the duplicitous French king, Philip. The foibles of his character are also exposed to the full, including his complicated relationships with the key women in his life, especially the imposing contemporary figure of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and his wife Berengaria, with whom he failed to produce an heir, leading to later suggestions of homosexuality."--Book jacket. 600 00 $a Richard $b I, $c King of England, $d 1157-1199. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Biography. $x Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Richard I, 1189-1199. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B521562156E11E9B78FB44697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
