Verdict: carrot
He is known as one of England’s most revered and famous kings. But who exactly was Richard the Lionheart? The elderly, almost Pickwickian Lord Huntingdon, pillar of the House of Lords and one of this novel’s memorable characters, describes him as “a genocidal, red-haired poofter”.
Historical records portray him as a fearsome enemy, a charismatic leader, a great Christian knight fighting against the “evil” Saracens, a supremely courageous fighter and an inspirational king. He was the ultimate English hero (although he spoke mostly French and lived most of his life out of England).
