medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Last Saturday's ODNB Life of the Day was John Gillingham's (very positive and closely argued) biography of Richard I [called Richard Coeur de Lion, Richard the Lionheart] (1157-1199), king of England, duke of Normandy and of Aquitaine, and count of Anjou. Chiefly of interest to this list because of his part in the Third Crusade and his patronage of ecclesiastical foundations, plus interesting light shed on the political use of Fontevrault Abbey.
