Umm thats not Richard in the article image...

Accent[]

Does anyone know why he has a french accent in the game? I thought he was from England. Is it a mistake made by the developers? --Sonny Black 16:42, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

He was brought up by his mother in France, England just funded his crusades and he didn't vist England often..... Quite good the game developer picked up on it...... EchoAltair 00:13, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting to know. The developers definitely did their homework well then, and it confirms what an intelligent and great game this is. --Sonny Black 17:12, June 24, 2010 (UTC)


Personality[]

"Richard was given the name "Lionheart" because of his kindness to his prisoners and because he was fierce in combat." Can anyone provide a source for this? Historically, Richard executed 3000 Muslim prisoners in Acre so that can't be true. Arciusazrael 15:23, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

I've removed it from the article: every source I can find says Richard was a hot-tempered thug.

"Richard feared his forces being bottled up in Acre as he believed his campaign could not advance with the prisoners in train. He therefore ordered all the prisoners executed."Saleh-Addin would not accept the ransom, and Richard could not keep the prisoners.He was given the anme the Lionheart mainly for his courage in the frontlines of battle.It was in his later life, that he began showing mercy.Before his death, he spared the one who shot him, and gave him gold.

Remove Revamp template?[]

I've removed all the out-of-game references I can, cited what I couldn't. Are we ready to remove the revamp template? Smoke3723 22:00, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

You haven't done any of what you just claimed to have done. So no, we can't. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 22:18, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ouch[1]. I've left small details of his early family history because they have an impact on his depiction in the game: Richard speaks with a French accent, which the uninitiated may mistake for an error. Richard's presence is a marker for the game's timeline, so those are left as well. This is separated from his game appearance by the distinct headings. We could remove the personality heading, since that seems unnecessary for such a minor character in the game. Apart from that, what else needs changing? Smoke3723 02:10, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Random Notation[]

I noticed after the second time I played AC 1 that Richard, the other Templars surrounding him, and Robert de Sable are all humongous compared to Altair when you stand next to them in Arsuf, and he's tall himself--6 feet right? So.....yeah, just a random thought, as stated. Strang3Happ3nings 18:48, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
