	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Richard I, King of England
		Richard I, born at Oxford, 6 Sept, 1157; died at Chaluz, France, 6 April, 1199; was known to the minstrels of a later age, rather than to his contemporaries, as "Coeur-de-Lion".
		But other quarrels followed between Richard and his father, and it was in the heat of the most desperate of these, in which the astuteness of Philip Augustus had contrived to implicate Henry's favourite son John, that the old King died broken-hearted, 6 July, 1189.
		Richard was induced to surrender England to the Emperor (as John a few years later was to make over England to the Holy See), and then Henry conferred the kingdom upon his captive as a fief at the Diet of Mainz, in Feb., 1194 (see Bloch, "Forschungen", Appendix IV).

		The Pictish Kings were almost always in a constant state of war, this was due mostly because of the Roman invaders looting and wreaking havoc across the country.
		The Royal Descendants of King Malcolm often were embittered with each other over the succession of the Scottish Crown, this resulted in a feud between Robert The Bruce "The Competitor" and John Bailiol whom Sir William Wallace died supporting as the rightful heir to the throne.
		England apparently was not as forthcoming as France and Scotland was in sending their Knights and Noblemen to fight for the Christian Crusades, and England had often been reprimanded by Rome to cease squandering their resources fighting their neighbors and to instead concentrate their attention to the spreading of the Christian Faith.
