Richard spaik baith French an Occitan. He wis born in Ingland, whaur he spent his bairnheid; afore acomin king, houiver, he leeved maist o his adult life in the Duchy o Aquitaine, in the soothwast o Fraunce. Follaein his accession, he spent verra little time, aiblins as little as sax month, in Ingland. Maist o his life as king wis spent on Crusade, in capteevity, or actively defendin his launds in Fraunce. Raither than regairdin his kinrick as a responsibility requirin his presence as ruler, he haes been perceived as preferrin tae uise it merely as a soorce o revenue tae support his airmies. Nevertheless, he was seen as a pious hero by his subjects. He remeens ane o the few kings o Ingland rememmered bi his epithet, raither than regnal nummer, an is an endurin iconic feegur baith in Ingland an in Fraunce.
