Richard I (The Lion Heart) During the 3rd Crusade by Chris Collingwood.

Richard the Lionhearts tactical skills and military training played a substantial role in the capture of Acre in 1191 by the Crusaders. But Richard the Lionheart was ruthless and after the capture of the city he marched 2,700 Muslim soldiers onto the road of Nazareth and in front of the Muslim army positions, had them executed one by one. But Richard the Lionheart was up against a great leader in Saladin and the crusades did not always go his way. After he negotiated the Treaty of Jaffa with Saladin and secured the granting of special rights of travel around Palestine and in Jerusalem for Christian pilgrims, Richard the Lionheart started his journey back to England in 1192. He was shipwrecked, and captured by the German Emperor Henry VI, only being released after a 150,000 mark ransom was paid. This money was raised by taxes in England.

Richard of the Lion heart is a type of the Knight errant who has made captive the imagination of posterity. His passion for adventure carried him into many lands and his courage and prowess in ware were so great that a century after his death Saracen mothers stilled the cry of their children by the terror of his name. England it is said, owes him nothing but barren fame and blood-stained laurels. his lust for conquest may have drained the country of its wealth, yet his chief exploit-the Crusade  to free the Holy Sepulchre, had the fervent support of his subjects  and all Christendom like Cromwell, he made the name of England feared and respected aboard. fate surely was in the mood for irony , in an obscure quarrel, the warrior who had faced the hosts of Saladin and had carried the sword and fire though France and had escaped the prison of his enemies sand the plot's by his brother John.  Ever in the need to raise money for war, Richard demanded a treasure that had been found at Chaluz. The owner of the castle, a vassal of Richards enemy, the viscount of Limoges, offered part of the treasure but would not give it all up. This refusal the King, a strict disciplinarian, looked upon it as an act of rebellion. he laid siege to the castle, rejecting all proposals to surrender on terms. The situation of Chaluz 3was strong but the means of defense were small. Richard was riding round the outer wall's to discover a weak point for his assault when a arrow from a long bow struck him in the shoulder. Enraged at this wound the King's men stormed the castle, carried it with sword and lance and hange3d the defenders. the sole survivor was the archer was the archer who had fired the fateful bolt. Him Richard with th4e generosity of a brave soldier, pardoned on his death bed, for the wound being treated by an unskillful surgeon proved fatal. Marchadie, who had not the nobility of soul of his master, caused the archer to be flayed alive. Whatever his faults  as a ruler Richard -Coeur -de Lion will always be one of the most romantic heroes in British history. (text from British Battles 1898)

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
