What I love is the lack of opinion. Can’t find interesting orators who can detail someone’s life and be factual without including opinions

I jumped into this comment section faster than Frederick Barbarossa jumped into the Saleph river

I was quite surprised to read the glowing depictions of Richard written by *Saladin's* servant. It appeared to me that by the time he was on Crusade he was very respected by his contemporaries and even some of his enemies. A Commander who truly lead from the front.

The younger Henry being described as giving "no evidence of political sagacity, military skill, or even ordinary intelligence." is a total read, delivered expertly by Simon.

I'm glad you mentioned the spat between Richard and Leopold twice, I might have forgotten otherwise 😂 wonderful video!

The peasants in Disney's Robin Hood: Just you wait till Good King Richard returns.
Prince John: Trust me he doesn't care.

I remember how much I loved the film The Lion in Winter; I don't know how accurate it was but it was exceedingly well written insofar as dialogue goes, and beautifully well acted.

Mr. Whistler, you are a master of bringing complex historical events in a clear and easily understandable manner, well done.

"Invaded and conquered Cyprus for his treasure back, aswell as what they could loot, then sold the island to a former king of Jerusalem."

I really appreciate the ad symbol in the bottom corner. Was gonna skip but saw how respectful that was to your viewers and sat through the ad.

He ain’t no Crusader King
He ain’t even married his daughters
He ain’t made his Horse his Chancellor
He’s just a king

[patriciaduncanjimenez]

A great movie about the dysfunctional family dynamics Henry 2, his wife and sons is "The Lion In Winter".

Richard was clearly a Lionheart even before the crusades with how he managed to defeat so many rebelling lords, even one with an impregnable fortress via a very dangerous stunt using himself as bait.

I’m so happy I found this channel. Amazing work.

I'm always so happy when I see new videos from Biographics and Geographics. I listen to all the channels Simon hosts during work, I love all of them, but my favorites are all the newest ones with the least videos. Oh well, glad theres a new video again!

All my knowledge of Richard the Lionheart prior to this video came from Disney's 'Robin Hood' so fascinating to learn the real story.

[Eazy-ERyder]

Richard the Lionheart is the TRUE depiction of courage and GREATNESS. Long live King Richard!

[locklearlumbee]

You really should do a video on Eleanor of Aquitaine. The Devil's Brood and most of the royals of Europe would not have existed without her.

Thanks Simon and team! Another great video. Keep up the great work!
