A Beautiful Suit of Armour of the style worn by Richard the Lionheart (now sold)
A Beautiful Suit of Armour of the style worn by Richard the Lionheart on the Third Crusade in 1191. It was on this Crusade that Richard captured Cyprus. Richard became the new ruler of Cyprus, gaining for the Crusade a major supply base that was not under immediate threat from the Turks as was Tyre. Richard looted the island and massacred those trying to resist him. He and most of his army left Cyprus for the Holy Land in June 1191. Richard the Lionheart reign as King of England was reflected in Steven Runciman's final verdict of Richard I: "He was a bad son, a bad husband and a bad king, but a gallant and splendid soldier." .........................This Armour is very high quality and beautifully made from 18 gauge Toledo steel and then highly polished.
