Never before has this aspect of his life been investigated fully in any previous biographies. And yet it is this background that is behind the tragic events in his life and the beginning of the end of a great empire. </big></big></p> <p><big><big>Even in England, the general knowledge of Richard tends to restrict him to the type of an adventurer. After all, what is really known about the Crusade and about the specific aims pursued by Richard? How much awareness is there of the world-wide intrigue against him led by the King of France, and of the true role played by the Duke of Austria? And hardly anything is known about the spectacular murder case in the Holy Land in which Richard was involved. </big></big></p> <p><big><big>Richard was no adventurer neither in military nor in political matters. Shortly after returning home from imprisonment in Germany, he became the most powerful ruler in Europe. No amateur politician could have achieved that. </big></big></p> <p><big><big> What has remained of Richard Lionheart? A ruined castle on the Seine. </big></big></p> <p><big><big>  </big></big></p> <div align="center"><big><big> <img src="rich1.jpg" alt="Château Gaillard"></big></big></div> <div align="center"><big><big> Château Gaillard</big></big></div> <p><big><big>A secret surrounded by charisma which in the age of Hollywood has become more and more distorted by the Robin Hood legend. </big></big></p> <p><big><big> Thus we are confronted with a stranger: Richard Lionheart, unencumbered by legends and clichés. The book is the result of ten years' study of source material. It offers an analysis of Richard's personality and includes detailed documentation on all specific issues.  </big></big></p> <hr> <h1><a href="hist.htm">For historians only</a></h1> <hr> <p><big><a href="jawohl.htm">German version (Auf Deutsch, bitte !)</a> </big></p> <p><big><a href="france/index.htm" target="index.htm">French version</a> </big></p> <hr> <address><big> For further information and </big></address> <ul>   <ul> <li>translations</li> <li>CD-ROM</li> <li>script</li> </ul> </ul> <pre><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><big><big>Impressum: <br>Mag.
