After Richard's death on 6 April 1199 there were two potential claimants to the Angevin throne: John, whose claim rested on being the sole surviving son of Henry II, and young Arthur of Brittany, who held a claim as the son of Geoffrey, John's elder brother.

Buckingham moved quickly to support Richard's claim.

After his father's death in 1376, Edmund disputed his half-brother Richard's inheritance of the earldom and associated lands and titles in 1376 and apparently tried to claim the six manors allotted to his deceased mother.

Richard's only option to stop the invasion is to claim his heritage and unite all free kingdoms and provinces under one rule and one command.

The children of Richard's older brother George, Duke of Clarence, were barred from the throne by their father's attainder, and therefore, on 25 June, an assembly of Lords and Commons declared Richard to be the legitimate king ( this was later confirmed by the act of parliament Titulus Regius ).

The five principal suspects are King Richard, his erstwhile ally Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham ; Richard's servant James Tyrrell, and Margaret Beaufort and her son Henry Tudor, who defeated Richard at Bosworth Field and took the throne as Henry VII.

After his death, Richard's body was put on public display in the old St Paul's Cathedral to prove to his supporters that he was truly dead, though this did not stop rumours from circulating for years after that he was still alive and waiting to take back his throne.

Prince John raises their taxes, supposedly to raise Richard's ransom, but in reality to secure his own position on the throne.

Literary critic Hugh M. Richmond notes that Richard's beliefs about the Divine Right of Kings tend to fall more in line with the medieval view of the throne.

The Princes, still living, would have presented just as much of a problem to Henry's occupation of the throne as they did to Richard's.

John ascended to the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard's death.

Following Richard's death in 1199, Walter helped assure the elevation of Richard's brother John to the throne.

However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.

In 1190 he was designated heir-apparent to the throne of England and its French territory by Richard I ; the intent being that Arthur would succeed Richard — in preference to Richard's younger brother John.

The nobility attached itself to one side or the other ( and often changed sides ), but eventually in 1461 Henry was defeated by Richard's son, who became King Edward IV ; Henry was incarcerated in the Tower of London for nine years, but the wars continued and in October 1470 Edward was forced to flee to the continent and Henry was restored to the throne.

Some authors conceded the possibility of a conspiracy, but think it the result of Richard's grasp for the throne.

The archbishop spent much of his archiepiscopate in various disputes with his half-brothers: first Richard and then John, Richard's successor to the English throne in 1199.

The king subsequently released Geoffrey from the oath, the initial swearing of which was apparently another of Richard's efforts to keep Geoffrey's possible ambitions towards the English throne in check.

The historians Ralph Turner and Richard Heiser speculate that Richard's strategy in making these appointments was to keep Geoffrey distracted by problems within his diocese, and thus unable to challenge for the English throne.

On Richard's accession to the throne of England in 1189 Longchamp became Chancellor of England.

Longchamp also agreed to work to ensure John's succession to the throne in the event of Richard's death.

Goaded on by Sir Guy, he usurps Richard's throne.

This was just Richard's way of saying that last year the Birds opened spring training with a lot of jobs wide open.

When Richard's parents told him they wanted to take him to an orthodontist -- a dentist who specializes in realigning teeth and jaws -- their young son was interested.

The black Fudo seemed to stare rigidly back at him and Richard's eyes were caught by the Fudo's in fascination, and then Richard was shocked as, all at once, flames shot out from the sharp features of Fudo's face and there was a terrible metallic scraping sound, as if the large statue were about to burst from some pressure within it.

Richard's younger brother John, who succeeded him, was not so fortunate ; he suffered the loss of Normandy and numerous other French territories following the disastrous Battle of Bouvines.

The crown of France was saved by Richard's demise after a wound he received fighting his own vassals in Limousin.

John unsuccessfully attempted a rebellion against Richard's royal administrators whilst his brother was participating in the Third Crusade.

Armed conflict broke out between John and Longchamp, and by October 1191 Longchamp was isolated in the Tower of London with John in control of the city of London, thanks to promises John had made to the citizens in return for recognition as Richard's heir presumptive.

This should have reverted to Philip upon the end of the betrothal, but Philip, to prevent the collapse of the Crusade, agreed that this territory was to remain in Richard's hands, and would be inherited by his male descendents.

Philip now marched southward into the Berry region, and his primary objective was the fortress of Issoudun, which had just been captured by Richard's mercenary commander, Mercadier.

Then in 1198, Henry the Holy Roman Emperor died, and his successor was to be Otto IV, Richard's nephew, who in turn put additional pressure on Philip.

The truce held and later that year, Richard was killed during a siege involving one of Richard's vassals.

Richard's grandson, Adam Petty, was killed in an accident at New Hampshire International Speedway on May 12, 2000, five weeks after the death of Lee.

In popular culture, Robin Hood is typically seen as a contemporary and supporter of the late-12th-century king Richard the Lionheart, Robin being driven to outlawry during the misrule of Richard's brother John while Richard was away at the Third Crusade.

" Francis James Child indeed retitled Child ballad 102 ; though it was titled The Birth of Robin Hood, its clear lack of connection with the Robin Hood cycle ( and connection with other, unrelated ballads ) led him to title it Willie and Earl Richard's Daughter in his collection.

Richard's father was the son of Sir William Lovelace and Elizabeth Aucher who was the daughter of Mabel Wroths and Edward Aucher, Esq.

The first, in October 1483, was led by staunch allies of Edward IV and most notably by Richard's former ally, Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham.
