Summaries

King Richard and the Third Crusade (1190-1192) are given the DeMille treatment with more spectacle than history.

King Richard Coeur de Lion goes on the Third Crusade to avoid marrying Princess Alice of France; en route, he marries Berengaria to get food for his men. Berengaria is captured by Saladin, spurring Richard to attack and capture Acre. But Saladin, attracted to her, takes her on to Jerusalem, and Richard is in danger of assassination.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>
