| Summary | "Richard the Lion Heart" by Kate Norgate is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and reign of Richard I of England, focusing on his character, his conflicts, and particularly his involvement in the Crusades. Norgate aims to paint a comprehensive picture of Richard, examining how his relatively short life and reign have etched him into the fabric of medieval history and legend. The opening of this work establishes the framework for understanding Richard's early life, beginning with his birth and upbringing against the backdrop of his parents' ambitions—Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. It outlines how Richard was groomed for leadership at a young age and sets the scene for the historical conflicts he would face, particularly in his native Aquitaine. The preface hints at a focus on Richard's character and the political dynamics of the time, suggesting that his notoriety extends beyond military conquests to the changes he enacted within the society he aimed to govern. This introductory segment thus lays the groundwork for a detailed biographical narrative, exploring not just the man, but the era and circumstances that shaped his legacy.
