Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 Aprile 1199) wis Keeng o Ingland frae 6 Julie 1189 til his daith. He an aw ruled as Duke o Normandy, Aquitaine an Gascony, Laird o Cyprus, Coont o Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, an Nantes, an wis owerlaird o Brittany at various times in the same period. He wis the third o five sons o King Henry II o Ingland an Duchess Eleanor o Aquitaine. He wis kent as Richard Cœur de Lion or Richard the Lionhert acause o his reputation as a great militar leader an warrior. He wis an aw kent in Occitan as: Oc e No (Scots: Aye an Na), acause o his reputation for terseness.

Bi the age o 16, Richard haed taken command o his awn airmy, pittin doun rebellions in Poitou against his faither. Richard wis a central Christian commander in the Third Crusade, leadin the campaign rfter the departur o Philip II o Fraunce an achievin conseederable veectories against his Muslim coonterpart, Saladin, awtho he did nae retak Jerusalem frae Saladin.

Richard spaik baith French an Occitan. He wis born in Ingland, whaur he spent his bairnheid; afore acomin king, houiver, he leeved maist o his adult life in the Duchy o Aquitaine, in the soothwast o Fraunce. Follaein his accession, he spent verra little time, aiblins as little as sax month, in Ingland. Maist o his life as king wis spent on Crusade, in capteevity, or actively defendin his launds in Fraunce. Raither than regairdin his kinrick as a responsibility requirin his presence as ruler, he haes been perceived as preferrin tae uise it merely as a soorce o revenue tae support his airmies. Nevertheless, he was seen as a pious hero by his subjects. He remeens ane o the few kings o Ingland rememmered bi his epithet, raither than regnal nummer, an is an endurin iconic feegur baith in Ingland an in Fraunce.
