King Richard – He fought in the Third Crusade and then was captured and imprisoned because he went home disguised as a kitchen maid. He got killed because he forgot to put on armour.
King John-Known as John Lackland, he lost England the most land. He was forced to sign the Magna Carta. He was Richard’s brother and successor. John was excommunicated along with anyone who spoke to him. He offered to turn England into an Islamic county for protection.
King Louis- Was the son of the King of France and was welcomed with open arms to become the King of England. He ended up controlling most of England. I think that it is very interesting that hardly anyone has heard about King Louis.
King Richard
He was a fearless warrior, and grow up learning chivalry, he was handsome and dashing. He came to London for his coronation. He was a story book hero. He had no heir; his brother was then king.
King John
Little brother of Richard. He was driven out of France. John tried to carry on reigning in England. But anyone who spoke to him would be excommunicated by order of the Pope.

King Richard: Thought he was the hero in his own imaginary story.

King Richard: Also known as the 'lionhearted', King Richard traveled to fight the third crusade and was captured on the way back to England.
