A spectacularly exaggerated drawing of Richard the Lionheart and his horse emerging from the Battle of Arsuf after being hit by dozens of arrows but obviously not hors de combat. The Battle of Arsuf, 7 September 1191, during the Third Crusade was an important Crusader victory and King Richard’s leadership and bravery during it further cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s great warrior kings. From Histoire de France, published 1855.
