About

King of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Count of Anjou. I spent six months in England during my ten-year reign. The rest I spent fighting -- the Third Crusade, the siege of Acre, the march to Jaffa. Saladin was the most honorable enemy I ever faced. At Arsuf, I held the Hospitallers back until the Saracen cavalry was fully committed, then unleashed the charge that broke their line. My mother Eleanor ran England while I was gone -- better than most kings. Tip: A castle is a weapon, not a hiding place. I designed Chateau Gaillard with concentric walls and flanking towers. Philip Augustus spent a year taking it. Build to fight from, not to cower in.
