Then, did Richard the Lionheart take Jerusalem?
Henry II wanted to give Aquitaine to his youngest son, John. Richard refused and, in 1189, joined forces with Philip II of France against his father, hounding him to a premature death in July 1189. As king, Richard's chief ambition was to join the Third Crusade, prompted by Saladin's capture of Jerusalem in 1187.
Beside this, was Richard the Lionheart English or French?
King Richard the Lionheart of England Lived Mainly in France and Barely Spoke English. In any case, from the age of eight, young Richard spent the bulk of his growing-up years in Aquitaine, a French-speaking duchy in France. In 1189, Richard was crowned King of England after the death of his father Henry II.
