Warriors (BBC)

Richard The Lionheart (1x1)

Air date: Oct 10, 2010

Was Richard the Lionheart a heroic warrior, noble and wise? Or was he just a greedy thug who wanted to loot the Holy Land? This film shows neither view to be true. It reveals a Richard we have never seen before - a man motivated by Christian duty, struggling with the problems of leading a fractious international coalition, fighting a Muslim opponent who cannot be beaten.
