Explanation:
Richard I of England
From 1189 until his demise on 6 April 1199, Richard I ruled England. His birthday was 8 September 1157. In the same period, he also held the titles of Lord of Cyprus, Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes, as well as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Gascony. He was also the overlord of Brittany on many occasions. He was the third of King Henry II of England's five sons with Eleanor of Aquitaine. At first, it appeared doubtful that he would succeed his father as king, but all of his brothers—all save the youngest, John—predeceased him. Richard is referred to as Richard the Lionheart or Richard Coeur de Lion (Norman French: Le liquor de lion) because of his reputation as a valiant soldier and military leader. Richard Oc-e-Non (Occitan meaning "Yes and No") was another nickname given to him by the troubadour Bertran de Born, probably because of his brusque demeanor. By the age of 16, Richard had assumed military command and put down uprisings against his father in Poitou.
Richard was a significant Christian commander during the Third Crusade, taking charge of the campaign after Philip II of France left and winning significant victories over Saladin, the Muslim opponent. However, Richard also finalized a peace treaty and the campaign came to an end without retaking Jerusalem.
Although he was raised in England, where he was also born, he spent most of his adult life in the southwest French Duchy of Aquitaine before becoming king. He only stayed in England for a brief period after his ascension, probably as little as six months. He spent most of his reign as king in crusades, in prison, or aggressively defending his French territories. He has been viewed as preferring to utilize his kingdom just as a source of income to maintain his forces rather than seeing it as a duty requiring his presence as king. Nevertheless, his subjects revered him as a religious hero. He continues to be one of the few English kings who is remembered more frequently by his nickname than by his regnal number and is a long-lasting cultural symbol both in England and in France. Oc-e-Non, which is Occitan meaning "Yes" and "No," may be due to a reputation for brevity.
