Armaduras Richard the Lionheart Shield - Painted
|
Armaduras Richard the Lionheart Shield is an ornate, full sized shield by Armaduras, bearing the seal of King Richard the Lionhearted of England, mounted over the red cross of St. George.
Crafted in Toledo, Spain, Armaduras Richard the Lionheart Shield is made in burnished steel with bronzed embossing and antique-finish paint decoration. The piece is equipped for wall hanging and is complete with a back-mounted bracket that allows one or two swords to be fixed behind the shield for an outstanding wall display.
Richard I (September 8, 1157 – April 6, 1199) was King of England from 1189 to 1199. He was often referred to as Richard the Lionheart, Coeur de Lion. He was considered a hero in his day and has often been portrayed as one in works of literature. He was a military mastermind, and politically wise in many ways; yet incredibly foolish in others, and unwilling to give way to public opinion. He was capable of great humility as well as great arrogance. He loved his family, but behaved ruthlessly to his enemies. He was revered by his most worthy rival, Saladin, and respected by the Emperor Henry, but hated by many who had been his friends, especially King Philip. He was often careless of his own safety: the wound which killed him need not have been inflicted at all if he had been properly armored.
