Synopsis:
The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style illustrations of the graphic novel create a dynamic format that encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved in the story. Opening pages provide historical context about the Angevin Empire - the vast lands owned by Richards's family in England and France; the feudal system operating in Europe at that time; the code of chivalry for all Christian knights; the pilgrimages of the Holy City of Jerusalem; and Richards's early life. Closing pages explain what became of Richard's empire after his death during the reign of his brother, King John I. This book includes a glossary, index and recommended further reading. It fits into the guidelines for Key Stage 2 History and helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
