"People actually died for this" sums up European history better than any book ever could

[vanbaguette]

I'm from Austria and we love Richard. The money England used to buy his freedom was used to renovate the capital and build a whole new city. Thanks Richard, very cool.

Right off the bat Jack sounds like he's trying to tell his friend that their partner is cheating. This is going to be a good one

[Crick]

England: "No! He loves me! He told me it doesn't mean anything! He's going to leave France and come back to me!"
*sobs into hands*

Great death, distracted by a guy defending himself with a frying pan and didn't notice the kid with the crossbow until it was too late because he was too busy laughing.

England's king liking France, this is the ultimate betrayal

[aleksandarvil]

Everyone: Richard the Lionheart

Me, as an intelectual: *Richard Cœur de Lion* _(Norman French: Le quor de lion)_

Richard lionheart comes home
England: your home late
Richard: umm
England: I know about aquitaine and trying to sell London
I don’t know why
Richard :
Moneys

His father was french too, not just his mother. Henry II (father of Richard) was just the first Plantagenet to get the English crown, but was the son of the count of Anjou, a french noble. The Plantagenet/Angevin house was from the kingdom of France to begin with.

I'm not trying to rub salt into the wound but, as a Frenchman (living in New Aquitaine), this does put a smile on my face..

[rin-joh]

The only thing Richard liked more than France was war.

John now has my undying love.

We need a Robin Hood story where it's shown that despite all the good Robin had done in his name, Richard doesn't care. And for the massive cognitive dissonance of realizing that, even in his own way, John cared more for England than "Good King Richard".

[antivalidisme]

"What? An Austrian duke?"
"Where do you think we are? Mexico?"

[Atairy]

Ok gotta ask:
Am I the only one who was picturing the lions from the Disney Robin Hood animation movie everytime he says Richard or John?

[MrLuchenkov]

To be frank, his choices boiled down to:

1)Crusades: adventure, pillaging, saving princesses, shouting deus vult.
2)Aquitaine: good wine, sunny year-long, gorgeous women, amazing beaches.
3)London: fish, chips, cup of tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins.

I can understand why he'd rather spend his time in the first two and tried to auction off the last one to pay for it.
