Contents Description:

On his way back from the Third Crusade in 1192, Richard the Lionheart, one of England's most famous and romantic kings, was shipwrecked and stranded near Venice. Trying to make his way home in disguise, he was arrested and handed over to Henry VI, the Holy Roman Emperor, who held him for ransom. Truly a king's ransom—one quarter of the entire wealth of England—was paid by Richard's powerful mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, to secure his release. - from the inside flap
