>ywn see Richard the Lionheart himself running down Saladin's lines daring him to attack him and making the Turkroaches so scared that they wouldn't attack

Why was Richard so based?

>Why was Richard so based?

Because he was French
It's not Hardold Godloseson who'd have done that

>Based
Richard didn't give a shit about his home country, and was a warmonger.

His home country was France and he cared about it
It's England he didnt give a shit about

Alexander was better. He personally charged the persian satrapes' bodyguards and didn't afraid of anything.

Alexander the Greek is overrated

Fuck you
>Undefeated in battle
>Conquered everything he touched
>Was shredded as fuck (natty btw)
>Smart as fuck
>God of war

Literally find 1 flaw

he was degenerate and gay

>300 years before jesus the faggot
>not being degenerate and gay

kys

>muh degeneracy
>muh gayness
>not fucking girl and boi pucci where you went while being an undefeated conqueror

>degenerate and gay
They're mutually exclusive. Being gay is patrician as fuck.

So was Lionheart

Top notch quality historical discussion in here!

You should all be very proud of yourselves!

Where do you think we are?

Place of birth*
Spent most of his time in France, and used England as a personal bank to fund his crusades.

>dat gallic bravery

>1 flaw
That crooked ass neck kek

He was an aggressive monster who overran sovereign nations simply because they were there.

He had no claims to the majority of his conquests, he just exploited the strength of his dad's army and did what he wanted.

Valiant conqueror? More like an opportunistic bully.

>not conquering what you are able
Go build a bridge, queer

>N*rman kings
They're trash

Richard was an Angevin king
Norman kings were those between 1066 and 1154

Go pick a fight with a second grader, tough guy.

Eh, I considered the proper French kings to be a continuation of "Franco-Danish" (Norman), since they were just Frenchman superseded by more Frenchmen.

yes

He got BTFO by Diogenes

>>highly trained and hardened specialist heavy infantry
>constantly on the verge of collapse and needing rescue by cavalry every time

What is contrapposto?

>Saladin's lines
>Turkroaches

He had Turkroaches. But they were so scared of Richard that they wouldn't attack. Saladin had to have his personal men charge and they got BTFO.

No, he is described as always holding his head on a tilt. He had Scoliosis most likely.

why were they so scared of Richard?

You have a source for this ?

Didn't saladin kick out the crusaders from the holy land though ?

>being degenerate and gay makes you a world conquering alpha male

makes you think

this is so fucking dumb

do you believe anything you see in a movie?

I bet you think herodotus is an objective source you subhuman

pathetic

>eh im fucking autistic and should kill myself, did I mention that I'm a special snowflake.

>>pick fight with a rotting corpse of an empire
I always assumed they were at least in decent condition when he attacked. Now I'm interested, and google indicates the opposite. Source?
