Richard I 1189-1199 AD Plantagenets
According to Ralph of Coggeshall, Henry the Young King was the instigator of rebellion against Henry II; he wanted to reign independently over at least part of the territory his father had promised him, and to break away from his dependence on Henry II, who controlled the purse strings. Jean Flori, a historian who specialises in the medieval period, believes that Eleanor manipulated her sons to revolt against their father. Henry the Young King abandoned his father and left for the French court, seeking protection from Louis VII; he was soon followed by his younger brothers, Richard and Geoffrey, while the 5-year-old John remained with Henry II. Louis gave his support to the three sons and even knighted Richard, tying them together through vassalage. The rebellion was described by Jordan Fantosme, a contemporary poet, as a "war without love".
It was whilst campaigning to recover these possessions that he was fatally wounded at the siege of the little castle of Chalus.
During Richard I’s reign the only denomination struck was the Silver Penny. They are quite scarce and very hard to find in any quantity.
On the obverse the simple facing portrait of the King. On the reverse an inscription round a small central cross.
