About this book
Richard I of England reigned for under ten years and died before he was forty-two, yet he became a hero of romance in every land from England to Palestine. Kate Norgate's biography of 1924 sketches his life using sources, some of which had only lately become open to students. Her preface singles out the Crusade of 1191 and 1192 and his struggle with Saladin, which she believes he saw as the chief work of his life. England stays in the background, since the book is not a history of the reign.
