Richard the Lionheart (1157-1199), 
Richard was the son of Henry II of England and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was not a happy family and Richard was encouraged to fight from an early age. He became a master of siege warfare and proved his worth as a leader in his battles with the Muslim leader Saladin during a crusade to capture Jerusalem. On the way home from Jerusalem, Richard was captured and held prisoner until a king's ransom was paid to release him. He is one of the most famous kings of England, though for most of his ten years at the top, he was not home.
