Biography of the Day -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard I, detail of tomb effigy in the abbey church of Fontevrault-l'Abbaye, France. Giraudon/Art Resource, New York King Richard I "No one will tell me the cause of my sorrow Why they have made me a prisoner here. Wherefore with dolour I now make my moan; Friends had I many but help have I none. Shameful it is that they leave me to ransom, To languish here two winters long." Richard I, verse written during captivity Richard I, born this day in 1157, was duke of Aquitaine (from 1168) and of Poitiers (from 1172) and king of England, duke of Normandy, and count of Anjou (1189–99). His knightly manner and his prowess in the Third Crusade (1189–92) made him a popular king in his own time as well as the hero of countless romantic legends. He has been viewed less kindly by more recent historians and scholars.
