Opis

The Middle English romance of Richard Coeur de Lion transforms the historical Richard I of England - a Frenchman by upbringing, who spent only four months of his reign in England - into an aggressively English king. This act of historical revision involves the invention of several fantastic elements that give Richard the superhuman force necessary to unite the English nation.
