This is an excerpt from Itinerariun Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi, which is an
Latin prose narrative of the Third Crusade written in 1220. It is a religious text. The book
is divided into two parts: the first part concentrates on Saladin's conquests and the early
stages of the crusade, with a long description of the expedition of the Emperor Frederick
Barbarossa. The rest of the book describes King Richard I of England's participation in
the Crusade which this text is about. Apuntes - 28.pdf
The Itinerarium was compiled by Richard de Templo, a religious figure from the Holy
Trinity in London around the year 1220.
To give a context, Richard, who was king of England, was also known as Richard the
Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior. Known to be
very cruel and an excellent Knight. He was the third of five sons of King Henry II of

agreed to name Richard his heir apparent. When Henry II died, Richard the Lionheart

Holy Roman Empire join forces to retake the Holy Land. Richard had already “taken the
cross” (fought in the 2nd crusade) before his coronation. He had to raise a lot of money
to build his army for the crusade, and he was considered one of the first ever to be both
King and Knight. Richard entrusted the government of England to William, bishop.
Prince John was deeply jealous of his brother Richard, so John and French King Phillip
agreed to work together against King Richard. Richard was shipwrecked on his way back
from the Holy Land. He became prisoner of the duke of Austria. John declared that
Richard was dead, and he made himself king, but the English noticed that king still lived. PDF 2 páginas

be dishonourable to let a crusader end his life in a prison. For this reason, they paid a
ransom to the captor. Richard arrived back and the rest of his reign was spent abroad
