King Richard and the Third Crusade (1190-1192) are given the DeMille treatment with more spectacle than history.
The film takes many of its elements and main characters from the Third Crusade, which was prompted by the Saracen capture of Jerusalem and the crusader states in the Holy Land in A.D. 1187. The character of King Richard the Lionheart is established early as a man of action but little thought. Richard enlists in order to get out of an arranged betrothal to Princess Alice of France.
