The resounding glory of Richard I the Lionheart could be envied by any other ruler, even those who were indisputably great. His very name echoed like a victorious sound of battle trumpets in the hearts of his contemporaries and descendants; in their eyes, he was the ideal embodiment of a knight. He was considered one of the greatest rulers of England, and indeed of all of Europe in the 12th century. And even his enemies, the Muslims, who belonged to a different culture, a different faith, and took the other side in the conflict that shook the Holy Land, agreed with this. But, on the other hand, no other king of England became a victim of such a quantity of slander, libel, rumors, and simply outright lies. Around Richard I, both during his life and after his death, and even today, a real information and propaganda war is raging.
In his new book on the history of medieval England, Vadim Ustinov, based on documents, examines in detail all aspects of the life and work of Richard the Lionheart, exposes numerous historical fakes and presents his own picture of the life of the great king.
