Richard the Lionheart reigned over England as the second Plantagenet King of England. His father, King Henry II, was the first king from the House of Plantagenet. During his 10-year reign, Richard I spent most of his time fighting to defend Plantagenet lands in France or in the Crusades in the Middle East. Richard I was the leading Christian commander of the Third Crusade and struck considerable victories against Saladin, the Muslim commander. His successes in battle earned him the name Richard the Lionheart.
