Richard the Lionheart
Richard the Lionheart's mummified heart has been analyzed. I found this pretty interesting because in college I was enthralled by medieval British history. The novels and movies that feature him are all over the map as far as accuracy goes .... for instance, the Robin Hood movies/books always made him sound like a great king but he was actually a rather bad king: he probably spent a year out of the ten of his rule in England, he lost Jerusalem in the third crusade, he married his wife for her lands and didn't get an heir, he made life difficult for the Jews in England, and he practically impoverished his citizens by getting captured and held for a huge ransom.
He died from a crossbow bolt wound that went bad and his body was somewhat parted out, his heart being buried in Normandy. A 13th-century Bishop of Rochester wrote that Richard spent 33 years in purgatory as expiation for his sins, eventually ascending to Heaven in March 1232. - Wikipedia ;)
Some novels I read in which he made an appearance ... Ivanhoe ... The kings of vain intent ... The Lute Player. He's been portrayed in a lot of movies too, the most recent one (I think) being Robin Hood, but the movie that made the biggest impression on me was The Lion in Winter.

Victor! Victor! Victor! Why can't Ya simply listen to wo-man who make sense while talking about their spiritual Loving father and then Crystal won't have to delete and/or send your comments to the spam box. You should know that there are some hackers who are not agreable with much of what you write cause these so called alien hacker gods have come close to, for whatever reasons have con vinced Crystal that she should close her blog and/or start a new one before allowing some who might convince others that the sacred sacrament of marriage should truly is truly only be between a man and a woman NOW.
I'll close by saying that all Christians should try to love sinners while not agreeing with their sins.
Go Figure?

Interesting. One of the very few people statues we have in Jerusalem is of Richard and Saladin facing each other, on horseback.
