>ywn see Richard the Lionheart himself running down Saladin's

>Why was Richard so based?

Because he was French
It's not Hardold Godloseson who'd have done that

>>1884903
>Based
Richard didn't give a shit about his home country, and was a warmonger.

>>1885081
His home country was France and he cared about it
It's England he didnt give a shit about

Alexander was better. He personally charged the persian satrapes' bodyguards and didn't afraid of anything.

>>1885116
Alexander the Greek is overrated

They're mutually exclusive. Being gay is patrician as fuck.

>>1885145
So was Lionheart

Top notch quality historical discussion in here!

You should all be very proud of yourselves!

Spent most of his time in France, and used England as a personal bank to fund his crusades.

He was an aggressive monster who overran sovereign nations simply because they were there.

He had no claims to the majority of his conquests, he just exploited the strength of his dad's army and did what he wanted.

Valiant conqueror? More like an opportunistic bully.

Richard was an Angevin king
Norman kings were those between 1066 and 1154

>>1885437

Go pick a fight with a second grader, tough guy.

>>1885455
Eh, I considered the proper French kings to be a continuation of "Franco-Danish" (Norman), since they were just Frenchman superseded by more Frenchmen.

>>1885603
He had Turkroaches. But they were so scared of Richard that they wouldn't attack. Saladin had to have his personal men charge and they got BTFO.

>>1885596
No, he is described as always holding his head on a tilt. He had Scoliosis most likely.

>>1885640

why were they so scared of Richard?

>>1885640
You have a source for this ?

Didn't saladin kick out the crusaders from the holy land though ?

I always assumed they were at least in decent condition when he attacked. Now I'm interested, and google indicates the opposite. Source?
