| Oct 6, 2017 at 12:09 | comment | added | sempaiscuba | I'm not convinced that most historians consider Richard to be a good king. Sir Steven Runciman described King Richard I as “A bad son, a bad husband, [and] a bad king ...”. However, most of Richard's losses in France happened while he was captive in Germany (and with the collusion of John). For comparison, when he was king, John became so unpopular that he was almost replaced by King Louis! | |
