Didn't read the print version.What did you like best about this story?
Crisp, colorful, focused narrative, packed with historical facts, peopled with living, breathing characters, shocking, exciting, sad and fascinating.What about David Case’s performance did you like?

Of course not!Any additional comments?
The legend of Richard the Lion heart falls to pieces with this view of a rotten, selfish adventurer, in it for the glory and willing to drain every drop of labor, cash and blood from his people in the attempt. One of the worst things that ever happened to England.The ugly truth behind the glorious legends
