History of Europe

LoH:Ricardo "Lionheart"

Ricardito

King Richard III (palote, palote, palote) from England, better known by Ricardo “Corazón de León” , was born in Oxford, although he never got to study university, why? he was the king. He saw the light on September 8, 1157, son of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.

We all have in mind the greatness and epics of this well-known king, but what is true about them? From HdH we are going to reveal one of the best kept secrets of medieval European history.

His mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine She was a very cultured woman of great influence in those years, she was the forerunner of patronage, and her court was exemplary due to the cultural environment that unfolded there, our protagonist grew up surrounded by troubadours, poets, artists, who influenced his personality until endowing him with what we could call "exquisite sensitivity".

With her long blonde hair blowing in the wind (from which she got the nickname of Heart of [Delon] Dandelion ), Ricardo was one of those "guys" who instead of saying "I'm terribly hungry", said "I have a man behind". In other words, our protagonist, more than "Roaring Lion" was "meowing kitten".

With the passing of time, he came to establish "pacts and alliances" with King Philip Augustus of France , which also showed “a certain elusive tendency towards the female gender”. So the two of them together (and we maintain the thesis that they were also scrambled), convinced Pope Gregory VIII (ve, palote, palote, palote), that under the pretext of a new Crusade in the Holy Land , and under the watchful eye of the Teutonic king, he financed them a "cruise" through the eastern Mediterranean.

In this way, equipped for the occasion, they had their first fight in the Battle of the Horns of Hattin , where the Muslim paladin Saladin gave them "the octopus ones", From here we maintain that the name of the battle derives from the attack of jealousy suffered by Philip Augustus , when, under the pretext of "negotiating a sustainable peace between Christians and Muslims", he surprised Richard in Saladin's tent in "indecent posture" and only dressed in his tunic, stripping the rest of the impedimenta, chainmail, armor, etc. During the armed confrontation, the German king, Ricardo , drowned in a riverbed due to the weight of his armor. in an attack of "uterine fury" he called the Teutonic action cowardly by throwing down the standard of the Germanic king, which brought about the consequences that we will explain later. As a result of this first confrontation, the Teutons abandoned the crusade, leaving Ricardo and Felipe alone to continue their adventure.

Both kings followed his steps after Saladin , so that after the investigations of the CSI we reached the conclusion that Ricardo had his "Turkish Passion" with Saladino on these dates. . We maintain the thesis that Saladin He was the Muslim who inspired the Ali Ben Ymete romance . This gave the justification for the French troops led by their king to abandon the adventure of the crusade, returning to their country and leaving the English troops alone in the Holy Land, which was considered a betrayal.

After completing his work (and we believe his romance with Saladin) in the Holy Land, Richard returned to his homeland via the Balkans, and on his way through Austria he was arrested and imprisoned, until a large monetary sum was paid for his release, this was the revenge of the Germanic peoples for Ricardo's performance in the Crusade , as we explained earlier. His mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine , managed to raise that sum of money (and there is no other mother), leaving the coffers of England with less funds than the "Dioni van" after the "change of pre-established route".

Now released, Ricardo he spent the last years of his life in French lands fighting against his former “ally”, losing his life when an arrow pierced his shoulder during the siege of the fortress of Château-Gaillard. An arrow that was not exactly launched by "Cupid", as had been the previous ones that he had received in his 42 years of life.
