The traditional image of King Richard the Lionheart , the second Plantagenet King of England , has come to us through the centuries as a glorious crusader and knight. Captured by the Austrian Emperor Leopold, he was later rescued by the young trouvador Blondel , who discovered Richard when singing a famous ballad. King Richard was called "Lionheart" at the beginning of the Third Crusade , when King Phillip of France was compared with a lamb and Richard with a lion. King Richard the Lionheart convinced his officers in Winchester , around a round table , of having belonged to King Arthur´s legend and having the magical sword Excalibur. Richard was a generous knight and a wise politician , but above all a great soldier. His own personal ability was a source of inspiration to his men in battle. For all his bravery , King Richard the Lionheart died foolishly. King Richard the Lionheart thought that an archer who was aiming at him was waving. When King Richard returned the wave , the archer shot him. This is a high quality product made in Toledo Spain which you can proudly display
