This week on Idiot History, we take a look at Richard the Lionheart—a king who inherited England, immediately left, got involved in a holy war, got himself kidnapped, and somehow became one of the most beloved rulers in English history.
We'll cover crusades, battles, political drama, ransom payments, and the remarkable story of a man who spent so little time in England that it's fair to wonder if he ever remembered where he lived.
History has never made more sense.
