"My son." "Have they killed my son?" "My husband is a slave." "God, have mercy." "Our Father, who art in Heaven..." "Thirty-five, thirty-five." "But it's not enough." "Look at this gold Christian hair." " Thirty-six." " Thirty-six." "Give us this day our daily bread..." " ...and forgive us our trespasses..." " Here." "For your 36." "...as we forgive those who...." "Of all the Christian captives not one so tall and slender." " Thirty-seven and no more." " Thirty-seven?" "Sold." "And may Allah give you joy." "His mercy is everlasting." " Come on, you!" " No." "No!" "Of all the captives, this is the fairest!" "The cross!" "The cross!" "Let me kiss the cross!" "That one is fair." "Your cry shall be heard through all the world." "Now, how much will you bid for this daughter of a Christian prince?" " Forty dinars." " Forty dinars, you say?" " Forty." " Not enough." "Who will bid more for the Christian captive?" " Forty-five." " Forty-five." " Forty-five." " Forty-eight." "Fifty." "Behold the Sultan, Saladin the Conqueror." "Saladin!" "Make way for Saladin!" "Hail to Saladin, servant of the Prophet!" "Make way for Saladin, Sultan of Egypt!" "Make way for Saladin!" "Make way for Saladin!" "Stay, infidel!" "Hearken to me, unbeliever, foe of Christ." "Strike him down!" "Let him speak." "You rule here in Jerusalem." "You have conquered." "The Holy Land is yours." "But never will you conquer this!" "Strike him down!" "Woe to the unbeliever." "I go to all the kings in Christendom." "A mighty host shall arise and arm!" "Who sets foot in Asia with a sword shall not return." "The swords of the Prophet will conquer." "Go, Hermit." "Carry your thunder across the sea." "Tell your Christian kings what you have seen." "Your women sold as slaves your knights trampled under our horses your gospels cast into the flames the power of your cross broken forever!" "Stop, blasphemer." "I go." "But I will come again." "And with me shall come the great Crusade." "The armies of Christ shall arise and redeem his tomb." "The cries of these Christian women sold into slavery shall be answered." "The host of our Lord shall fall upon Islam like a mighty wave of the sea." "Woe to you, unbeliever." "I go to preach the great Crusade." "And so I have come to summon you, Philip, Lord King of France to war for your faith to lead the multitudes on Crusade to free the city that was hallowed by the footsteps of our Lord." "Your answer, Philip, Lord King of France?" "I will go." "So be it." "Until now, you have fought for the man who is Philip." "For France." "But now, your sword, your life..." "I give to God that the gates of Jerusalem may be opened and the tomb of our Lord set free by this Crusade." "Crusade." "Amen." "So be it." "Philip, Lord King of France." "Amen." "Sire if you go, what of Richard?" " Richard of England?" " Richard the Lion-Heart of England." " With you away...." " Will take France." "Is that what you try to say, Conrad of Montferrat?" "Quite." "Richard is betrothed to my sister, Alice." "And with Alice Queen of England..." "The English Lion will be caged." "You're a wise and clever king." "I do my duty and safeguard France." "Richard would not dare break this pledge of marriage." "Alice and I leave at once for England." "I will accompany you." "I desire to see this English king."

"Hair of the devil, it's not done!" "Here, sire." "A fair, sweet blade!" "Well, it should be." "You take long enough, old Hercules." "No one can hurry fire or steel." "Well, you can't shape steel with words." "Here." "But, sire..." "Every lick that goes into this now will come out in a fight!" "Nay, sire, you can't shape steel with love taps!" "Give it to me." " Love taps?" " Aye, lad..." "Sire." "It wants my arm to strike it right." "Your arm?" "Well, who do you think strikes the harder blow?" "A king or a smith?" "Why, a smith, of course." "All right." " We'll find out!" " How?" "You can have the first blow, and no love taps, remember." "Strike my king?" "Lord bless me, no." "That'd be treason." "I command you to strike, and strike hard."

"The sword, man." "The sword." "The sword." " Something hit me." " Something hit him." " Aye, something hit you." " It was the King." "The King." "Aye!" "The King." "Laid his fist to me jaw, he did." "A fair, sweet lad." "The Earl of Leicester comes." "Sire, the Earl of Leicester." "Sire." "What's the matter, Robert?" "Have you seen a ghost?" "I've seen the King of France." "Philip, here in England?" "He is at the castle." "Will you come to greet him?" "Does my saintly cousin come in peace or war?" "He comes in peace." "And he brings his royal sister." "Oh, Alice." "She's no dove with an olive branch." "Your father gave his pledge to France that you would wed the Princess Alice." "The surly-tempered witch." "Your father's pledge was England's pledge." "You cannot escape this marriage." "Now, what do I care for France?" "Fighting." "Always fighting." "Fearing no devil and praying to no God." "Why should I?" "I know my horse, Fauvel." "I know the feel of a lance in my hand." "I know what it is to see men go down before me." "Now, look." "This sword's being made for me." "No other arm shall wield it but mine." "With this sword, Robert I'll swing a stroke from Norway down to Spain." "Why should I fear and pray for what I don't understand?" "The King of France is waiting." "How much longer, Prince John, will Richard keep France waiting?" "Who knows what Richard will do?" "He's not an ardent suitor, is he, Brother?" "If he knew that the fairest lady in Christendom were waiting, I'm sure..." "He does know." "I sent Leicester to tell him." "And I offer apology for him." "Richard is my brother and I am deeply ashamed." "Ashamed?" "Of my future husband, Prince John?" "Ashamed of your king, Prince John?" "Yes." "For many things, in many ways." "Why, it is an open scandal." "He has no faith in God." "He is a graceless..." "Richard, by the grace of God, King of England Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou." "Cousin Philip." " Welcome to Windsor and to England." " The greetings of France." "Oh, the Lady Alice." "I am not accustomed to waiting, Richard." "Even for a betrothal kiss." "Well, let's postpone it." "Well, what other guests have we?" "Conrad, Marquis of Montferrat and my friend." "Then he is mine." "England gives welcome to Montferrat." "I understand now, sire, why men call you the Lion-Heart." "Well, why are we all so glum?" "Come on, wine, music." "Ho, lads, wine!" " Blondel, song." " Richard, we've come to.." "You have not heard my troubadour, have you?" " Shall it be of love?" " No, no, no." "Hunting." "And why not of love?" "Come, Richard." "We'll pledge to my sister, Alice." "What's the cross, Cousin Philip?" "The sign of the Crusade." " The Crusade?" " I go to Holy War in Palestine." "A miracle is happening, Richard." "Men are arming everywhere for our Christian faith." "Emperor Barbarossa of Germany has taken the cross." " So has Leopold of Austria." " And Hugo of Burgundy goes." "Well, let them go." "I've no love for monks and shave-pates." "And I'm content in England." "And France." "You realize why we've come, Richard, Alice and I?" "How long do you propose to honor us here?" "My time is short." "And so I give you happiness, Richard in your marriage to my sister." "I've no wine left, Philip." "I can't drink that toast." "The pledge of marriage was given by your father." "Yes, but Alice and I were just children then." "The late king, your father, desired this alliance with France." "Philip, you know that the late king, my father, and I seldom agreed on anything." "The Lion squirms in the net." "Richard of England do you refuse to wed the Princess of France to whom you are pledged?" "Sire, sire, there's a great crowd at the outer gate." "They seek the King." "Well, let them in!" " You'll answer me!" " Yes, yes, Philip." "Later, later." "Open the gates." "Open the gates, I say." "Richard!" "You will get an excellent view from the balcony." "Open the gates!" "The Hermit is here." "Let the Holy Man through." "Oh, ye men of England the kings and the peoples of every other land are going forth to war for the cross." "Will you close your ears to the cry of Christendom?" " Never!" " No!" "Do you fear to die where Christ, our Lord, suffered to give you life everlasting?" " Oh, no!" " No!" " Never!" "Will you turn from him now that he is being crucified again?" "Behold, in the City of His Sorrow darkness falls again upon the Mount of Calvary." "Will ye deny him now?" " No!" " Never!" "Come to the army of the cross." "Lift up your swords, not for lust or gold but for the Lord, our God." "Come, ye men of England." "Take the cross to your heart that ye may find the real, true cross." "That man's inspired!" "Now shall the son depart from the father and the husband from the wife." "Many who go shall not return." "Therefore, all other earthly promises and vows are wiped away." "By the devil's teeth, I see the way out!" "Father!" "The King!" "Make way for the King!" "Stand back!" "King Richard." "God bless you, Richard." "Good father, do I hear it right?" "The taking of the cross will cancel a pledge?" "No other pledge shall bind one who has taken the Crusader's Oath." "Then give me the Oath." "Richard of England, will you join the Crusade, forsaking all else?" "Yes, I will renounce everything." "Even the lovely woman to whom I'm pledged." "Richard of England do you swear you will not lift your hand against any other who wears the cross?" "That you will not turn aside from the Crusade until the Holy City is again free?" "I swear." "Give me the cross." "You can lie to yourself, Richard you can lie to me but you cannot lie to God." "This cross will humble you, Richard." "It will burn into your heart till your pride is in the dust." "The King takes the cross!" "That settles Philip." "But not the Lady Alice." "What is she going to do?" "Father, give me the cross." " Alice of France..." " No, no!" "This is work for men!" "Work for all Christians, men and women." "Work for men and only for men." "I'll get you knights, I'll get you men-at-arms yeomen, esquires, grooms, cooks, blacksmiths..." "I'll even get you a minstrel." "Here, Blondel!" "Sire!" "Alice of France do you swear you will not lift your hand against any other who wears the cross?" "Let me through to the King." "I have the King's sword!" "Hear it ring!" "Oh, men of England, the battle cry has sounded." "England is at war!" "Mother, I must go." "Alan, my boy, you may never come back." "Mother, I may touch the wood of the true cross." "Out with your steel, men, for the Crusade!" "For the Crusade!" "Good father, consecrate these swords to the service of England." "To the service of God." "Amen." "Let God's blessing be upon these swords." "May they rescue the tomb of Christ our Lord." "May they restore to his people the cross on which he died." "Amen." "Check." "The fire burns low." "An eventful day, my princely friend, an eventful day." "You may have won a throne." "Check." "You're a treacherous man, Montferrat." "In good company, John." "Check." "John, supposing your brother, Richard, does not return from this Crusade?" "Well, hazardous business, these Crusades." "Many will be killed." "Even kings." " By the infidels?" " Yes, of course." "By the infidels." "Check." "Then I would be King of England." "And marry Alice of France." "Would England and France when the Crusade is won make me King of Jerusalem?" "Yes." "Sire." "You know, John I have the direst premonition tonight that your lion-hearted brother will never return to England." "In fact, I can give you my word for it." "Raise the standard of France!" "Forward!" "Raise the standard of England!" "Leicester!" "The knights are mounted, sire!" "Sound the trumpets." "The Crusade goes forward!" "♪ Onward Ho!"

"Tina, we must do something to help them." "Crusader!" "Crusader, where is your king?" " Eh, lass?" "Don't you know him?" " No." "But I've heard the minstrels sing of his chivalry his bravery and his gentleness." "Yes, his gentleness." "Yes, they sing of a saint in armor leading the blessed Crusade." "Then they're better singers than I am." "What do you want of him, lass?" " I have flowers for him." " Flowers?" "He'd rather have a side of beef." "We haven't eaten for a week."

" Aye, sire." " Now, come on, look lively there!" "Come on, pull over there." "Don't fret that horse, you idiot!" "Look out!" "The King's horse!" "He's hurt the King's horse." "That's blood."

"What are you waiting for?" "I hope he starves." "The King!" "We've got to see the King!" "King Richard." " Sire." " Silence!" " Well, what is it?" " Sire, we've had no food for days." "We must eat." "I'll get you food, but stop howling for it!" "But, sire..." "King Sancho." "I'll give you a bond on the City of London for your cattle." "And what should I do with your City of London?" "Can you move London to my poor Kingdom of Navarre?" "No, no, Richard." "You heard my price." " I cannot pay it." " But Navarre is a poor country." "And I am a poor king." "We drove our cattle down to Marseille to sell to you Crusaders for gold not promises." "By the devil's teeth, I'll take what I need." " No, Richard." " Leicester!" "Seize all his cattle!" "Richard!" "You wear the cross." "You may not plunder another Christian." "Or strike one." "Still, there is a way." "Well?" "I have a daughter." "A fair, sweet girl." "Just like a flower." "A girl, but ready to be married." "You understand?" "No." "Marry her." " Marry your daughter?" " Yes." "Well, by the devil's beard." "I'll settle a dower on her." "Herds of cattle and sheep." "Shiploads of grain." "A hundred cartloads of fodder for your horses." "You can marry your wench to the devil!" "Tighten your belt, Robert." "Scour the countryside, glean what you can." "The country's bare as a wolf's tooth." "Sire, the men are truly desperate for food." "Yes, sire, give us food." "We sail tomorrow." "We can't ship horses without fodder." "How many head of cattle have you in Navarre?" "Six thousand." " How many?" " Seven thousand." "How much grain?" "Barley and wheat enough to fill four cargo ships." "I'll marry your wench." " My Lord, I think..." " No, no, not now, Robert." "Would you crown this unknown girl Queen of England?" "I said I'd marry her." "I said nothing about the Crown of England." "Well, she'll arrange that." "Drive your cattle and your carts here into my camp." "I'll marry your girl when we come back from Crusade." "Promises." "Promises." "All right, all right, here." "This is surety that I'll marry your daughter whenever you say." " What's her name?" " Berengaria." "And you'll marry her tonight." "Yes, yes, yes, tonight." "My son." "Make way for the King of Navarre." "Robert, have his cattle driven into our lines and the grain stored in our ships." " This wedding, sire..." " No, no, never mind that." "Just tell the men that they'll eat tonight." "Yes, sire." "But, Daughter, he's your saint in armor." "Your pure white knight." "The minstrels sing his praises, you've heard them." "You'll bless me for this marriage, my child." "Never." "If you'd given your cattle to help the Crusade..." " ...this never would have happened." " Well, I did!" "I gave him the cattle, and he gives you a crown." "But he's such a noble king." "So gentle." "Didn't you strew flowers in his path?" "Why, Daughter, what's the matter?"

" Such is the law." "The law?" "The law?" " And the marriage will hold?" " Until death." "There, you see, my child?" "You were mistaken." "Didn't I tell you Richard was a man of his word?" "A pure knight, a noble king." " Let us begin the ceremony." " No!" " No, I will not." " But, my child." "No, Father, let me go." "Please let me go!" "But it's the man himself you will marry."

"Long live Richard!" "Long live the King!" "Wilt thou, Richard, have this woman for thy wife?" "To love her and worship her and keep her in sickness and in health?" "And all others forsake and hold thee to her, to thy life's end?" "I will." "Or he will." "Wilt thou, Berengaria, have this man to thy husband?" "To love him, obey him, worship him and serve and keep him in sickness and in health?" "And all others forsake and hold thee only to him to thy life's end?" "I will." "I join you, man and wife, in holy wedlock." "The ring." "In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti." "Amen." "Wilt thou give to the sword the kiss of peace?" "And what token shall I take Richard?" "There!" " My child!" " Milady, milady!" "There's your token." "Take that back to him." "Milady." "Tell him that's all he'll ever see of me." "I hate him and I'll never, never forgive him." "My child!" "You are beside yourself." "Sire." "Your sword." " Oh, then I'm married." " Yes, sire." "And what did the wench say to her husband?" "Well, she said many things." "Oh, sire, if you could only have seen her." "Well, I don't want to see her." "Here, give me a cloth or something to bandage this wound." " Well, what's this you have?" " A token from your bride." "Soft, isn't it?" "Just what I need." "Hup, son." "Hup, hup." "Well, she said it's all you'll ever see of her." "That's good." "I'd not be seeing her anyway." "We set sail in the morning." "Look, there's the English King." "Sire." "Doesn't an angel looking down from heaven smile?" "Not upon a devil looking up." "What, no Godspeed for a poor Crusader?" "Not for Richard of England." " Oh, so you recognize me?" " Yes." " And who are you?" " It wouldn't matter to you, Richard." "Ride on." "As you wish, milady." " Very nice, too." " On me oath, yes." " Wonder who she is." " Your wife." "What?" "Berengaria, your wife." "You married her last night." "Why the devil didn't you tell me she looked like that?" " You didn't ask me." " Oh, you half-wit." "Richard, you can't go back now." "The fleet is waiting and the King of France is ready to sail." "May a poor devil look up to heaven again?" "Are you so far above me, my angel, that you cannot hear?" "Perhaps it's the smell of brimstone that makes you tilt your pretty nose so high." "Now I see you have two eyes." "Or are they stars?" "I confess my sin." "I ask your forgiveness." "I'm in the dust at your feet." "So is my veil." "Well, you see, my horse was wounded." "Yes, so am I." "Here, come back." "Wait a minute, you're my wife." "Richard." "King Philip will sail with the tide." "Wait." "This is not England." "You don't command here." "Nor is it Navarre." "So you don't command here." " Well, I can always leave." " Oh, no." "Not till I know you're coming to Palestine." "Palestine?" "You're very lovely, Berengaria." " I'll never go." " Well, we'll see." "Navarre!" " Let go my wrist, you're hurting it." " Well, stop pulling then." "Navarre!" "What's the matter?" "What's the matter?" "What's..." "Is this my wife?" "Now, Richard, now." "That was all settled last night." "You can't change your mind now." " Is she my wife?" " That's what I said." "You have the cattle." "We had a priest and witnesses." " Have her board ship then..." " I'll never set foot on your ship." "No, not on mine." "I go on a war galley." "You'll go on the ship of the women." "Richard!" "The tide is full." "We must sail." "Attend to her, Navarre." "Wait." "She has a will of her own." "A very strong will of her own." " It's not easy..." " You have her on that boat." "Or when I come back, I'll visit your halfpenny kingdom with fire and sword, and burn your castle over your ears." "He would do it, Berengaria." "You must go on that ship as he says." " No!" " But, Berengaria." "No, never." "Never will I set my foot on that ship!" "But, Berengaria, it's such a beautiful ship." "Milady, the master of the ship." "Your pardon, Princess Alice but there's another lady come to the ship." "Well, who is she?" "I'm sorry, milady but I'm afraid that she must have this cabin." "What?" "Gracious lady, I assure you it's the truth." "Surely you have made a mistake." "This is the royal cabin." "Thank you." "Tina." "I am Alice of France, betrothed to King Richard." "Who are you?" "I'm his wife." "His what?" "His wife." "I was married to him last night." "We can share the cabin." "Share, with you?" "Why, I'll kill you, you lily-faced thief!" "No, no, milady." "Let me go." "She's stolen the throne of England..." "Lower away!" "Oh, infidels!" "Hear ye the challenge of the kings of Christendom." "The Crusade has crossed the sea." "Our Christian armies surround your wall." "In the name of God we call upon you to surrender the city of Acre." "What is your answer?" "They've shot him!" "Assassins!" "Kings of the Crusade, this is their answer to our herald." " Insolence." " Arrogance." "We'll send them back 10,000 like it." " They struck the first blow." " We'll answer them with blood." "Milords." "Have you forgotten that the cross upon which our Lord died is within the walls of Acre?" "We must try to open those gates without more bloodshed." " I have granted a truce." " A truce?" "Saladin, Sultan of Islam..." "Let him see the might..." "Kings of the Council I've kept you waiting while I sought for one whose ship was delayed." "Milords, the Queen of England." "Do you hear, Philip?" "I am presenting my wife." "I greet the Princess of Navarre." "Philip!" "Milord of France." " Your Majesties." " Leicester." "Why do you grant truce to the infidel?" "To hear if he'll make terms." "We'll make our own terms with the sword." "Milords, Saladin comes." "Saladin the Conqueror, Sultan of Islam." "Christians, who is your leader?" "I am." " Who speaks?" " Richard of England." "The Lion King." "And I am Philip, King of France." "And who are my other enemies?" "I am Hugo of Burgundy." "And I am Frederick, Duke of the Germans." "Michael, Prince of the Russians." " Sverre, the Norse King." " I am Leopold of Austria." "William of Sicily." "I am Nicholas, Count of Hungary." "And I am Conrad of Montferrat." "You see, infidel, we are many kings." "There is room in Asia to bury all of you." "Insolence!" "Boasting and wine go well together." "Ho there!" "Bring wine for the infidel." "We, of the true faith, drink no wine." " You refuse me?" " Not you, my noble enemy." "I refuse the wine." "Well, we'll drink water then." "A goblet of water for the King of the infidels." "They told me he had horns like the devil." "I think he's magnificent." "Water may be poisoned as easily as wine." "It is our custom that someone first taste the cup offered a king." "Richard of England offers no poisoned cup." "Drink." "Well?" " She did well!" " Brave." "Well, what have you come to say?" "Must my wife give you courage to speak as well as drink?" "Your wife?" "She does not wear the Crown of England yet." "Robert, give my wife escort to my tent." "Your Majesties." "Milord Sultan." "Now, what brings you here in truce before us?" "I offer peace to you, foes of Islam." "He does well to make peace." "You will surrender Acre, and then Jerusalem..." "I will surrender nothing." "Go, while yet you live." "Lead your armies and your ships over the sea, whence you came." "I say to you, go in peace while you can." " Boasting is cheap." " Life is cheap." " We do not fear you." " We are many kings." "And I am one king with many armies." "Go and live, stay and die." "Bold words." "We'll answer you with steel." "With this sword, I'll cut my way into Jerusalem." "No." "You'll find the blade too dull." "My sword dull?" "Here, fetch me a mace." "An iron mace." "Guard." "Bring up a chair." "Set it in line with this." "My sword dull?" "Good, Richard." "The Lion King has shown us the strength of his arm not the sharpness of his sword." "What does he mean?" " The blade cut iron." " Yes." "Here." "Cut through this in midair." "That's impossible." "It offers no resistance." " Why, look!" " Work of the devil." "Magic." "Impossible." " Witchcraft." " The devil is in him." "Black magic." "A sharp blade, my Lord Sultan." "But Christian armor is not made of silk." "Just as easily will I cut your Crusade to pieces unless you accept my terms." "From you, Sultan of Islam, I accept only war." " Milords." " My answer is war." "No terms." "War." "War." "For God and the cross." "Very well, milords, war." "Within a month, I shall enter Jerusalem." "By Allah you shall never pass the gates of Jerusalem." " Arrogance." " Unbeliever." " Speak no more." " This is war." "The Saracen's steel is sharp." "Richard, by what right do you call yourself leader of the Crusade?" "I don't care who leads if it be through Acre toward Jerusalem." "Or who gives command if it be to battle." " But, Richard, you know very well..." " Milords, please." "You must not quarrel." "England and France are the hope of the Crusade." " Yes." " Conrad is right." "You must stand together until we win Jerusalem." "The Oath of the Crusade binds us." "Richard gave no thought to that when he made this marriage..." " ...if marriage indeed it be." " Philip." "Steady." "Marriage it is, Cousin Philip." "It is more than a marriage." "It's a studied insult to France." " Be careful!" " Richard." "I regret the insult." "But not the marriage." "Third hour of the night and all's well." "Good night, Tina." "Good night, Tina." "Oh!" "Good night, Tina." "I said, good night, Tina." "You didn't find your way to my tent, did you?" "I liked my own tent better." "How should you know?" "My bedposts are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John." "They are consecrated to my safety." "I, too, as your husband, I am consecrated to your safety." "Then stand on guard, outside." "Is it Saladin that you fear?" "He looked at you today, I noticed." "Saladin would not force himself upon me." " And he's an infidel, remember." " Infidel." "Had you but half his courtesy." "Have I spoken harshly?" "That's easily changed." "Might it please my sweet queen to come to her husband's tent?" "You see, you don't answer to courtesy." "Get up." "No." "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John I wish you to understand that this lady is my wife." "Who wishes to be alone." "I just wanted to assure them." "What are you doing?" "Why, I usually remove my spurs before retiring." "If I scream, every woman in this camp will come." "All right then, scream." "Listen to your minstrel meowing of love." "You don't know what love is." "Perhaps I do." "Even if I can't put it into pretty words." "Oh, it isn't what you say, it's..." "It's what you are." "I'm no pale gallant to sit at a woman's feet." "No, I should say you're not." "You take by storm." "What's a woman to you?" "A citadel?" "A herd of cattle?" "Oh, Richard of England, it's not as easy as that." "Now, will you please leave my tent?" "As you will." "Since you go with me." "Richard, what are you doing?" "Let me go." "Richard, let me go!" "I told you to go to my tent and that's where...." " I am not going to your tent." " ...you're going" " Put me down." "You are." "If I can find you." "Where the..." " I'll get you out of here." " Look here, I'm your husband." "You're not." "This is my husband." "This is what I married." "For goodness sake, be reasonable." "You little devil!" " My husband will protect me." " Drop that sword, you wildcat." "Not until you get out of my tent, you blustering barbarian." "Milord of England." "Milord." " King Richard." " Sire." "Pardon." "Well?" " We're attacked, sire." " Saladin attacks from the gate." "Run the mantelets forward." " Mass the knights." "Charge behind them." " Sire." " Stanley, take mantelets 1 to 50." " Sire." " Sire, your spurs." " Blount, take mantelets 50 to 100." "Aye, my lord." "If you'd been in my tent they wouldn't have had to look all over the camp for me." "Well, I didn't ask you to come here." "Mass the longbows on the right flank, crossbows on the left." "Aye, sire." " Tell your men." "Carry the flares forward." " Aye, sire." "You didn't ask me to come here." "The next time you will." "Sire, they're throwing wildfire from the walls." " All right, cover the war engines." " Wet hides for the war engines." "Where are the French?" "They mass for attack on the west tower." "We'll strike toward the gate." "Now then, where the devil is my sword?" "Richard." "Robert, stay here." "Keep her in bed if you can." "I can't." " Sire, my place is with you." " Stay here." "If the infidels break through our lines, guard my wife." "He may be killed." "Yes, milady." "And I must stay here." "I love him, if you do not." "Milord." "Dear lady, a dreadful thing has happened." " To Richard?" " Yes, dear child." "To my sorrow." " He's wounded." " No." " He's..." " No." "He's not dead." "He's not harmed as yet." "But a messenger has arrived from England." "Bad news?" "Tell me, my dear." "You love Richard greatly, don't you?" "I am his wife." "He never comes to your tent, yet you love him." "No." "Your lips say no but your eyes just now when you thought him dead..." "Tell me, what's the matter?" "What does the messenger say?" " You sew a Crusader's banner." " Tell me." "But you stand between England and France." "And anyone who stands there, Berengaria is in the way of the Crusade." "Yes, in the path of God." "What right have you to say a thing like that?" "How terrible that the lovely thing you are could destroy Richard." " Destroy Richard?" " And the Crusade." "But how could I?" "I'd give my life..." "There'd be no need for that if only Richard would give you up." "Annul your marriage, send you away." "Does Richard want that?" "No." "No." "Richard will not let you go and it is not in your power to give him up." "My dearest child, you must be very brave for you alone can help him now." "But how?" "How can I possibly help him?" "What can I do?" "You must step from the path of the Crusade." "You mean, kill myself?" "What else is to be done?" "Richard has been summoned to the Council." "He stands now at bay before the kings." "Take me there at once." "Richard, you are no longer King of England." "And who has dethroned me, Cousin Philip?" " Your brother, John." " My brother?" "Who brings you such report?" "Tell this Lion of ours the news from England." "Tell him who holds the throne of England." "King John." ""King" John?" "You lie, you treacherous dog." "Milord of England." " Who dares believe his words?" " I have proof." "I am England's king!" "Not if I support your brother John." "How bold we grow with treason." "I serve France, not England." "Richard, put that woman aside." "Marry my sister, and I support you against John." "John offers to make Alice Queen of England." "Richard, you must make your choice." "She was sold for cattle." "I am land and power." "What does love matter?" "I am France." "Richard is England, or John is England." "I marry England." "Choose, Richard." "Who gives Alice the Crown of England?" "You or John?" "Kneel, Berengaria." " What would you do?" " Kneel." "Richard, please." "Give me up, put me aside." "You will kneel, Berengaria." "Think." "Think." "You will destroy yourself, the Crusade for me." "What she says is true, you will destroy yourself." "Please, Richard." "I, Richard, King of England bestow upon thee, Berengaria of Navarre the right of sovereignty." "In the presence of these Lords of Christendom I grant thee the royal privileges that thou shalt rule by my side and share my crown and only death shall deprive thee of this power." "Berengaria Queen of England." "Whoever challenges this act makes war with Richard." "I have only one answer." "Renounce this woman or France withdraws from the Crusade." " Milord of France, you must not." " Marshal of France." " France must not withdraw." " Call back your men." " Sire." " No, No, milord." " France must command." " We need you." "France and England are the two arms of the Crusade." "I will not fight beside him." "Don't let him withdraw from the Crusade." " Make peace with France." " This will end the Crusade." "Give her up and the Crusade will go on." "This woman means war with France." " Give her up, Richard." " Send her away." " There is no other way." " Put her aside." "This maid will be your undoing." " Listen, Richard..." " I stand firm!" "Father, stop them." "Make peace between them." " You'll regret this." " Cease your quarrels." " I'll follow Philip of France." " Aye." "Cease your quarrels." "Will ye fight over your petty kingdoms here?" "There is but one kingdom, the Kingdom of God." "Richard of England, you lied when you took that cross you bear." "You've broken faith with man and God." "Do you hold to that woman against the Crusade?" " Will you destroy the Crusade..." " Silence!" "I have my wife at my side and English swords to follow me." "I'll open the gates of Jerusalem if I go alone." "Now what do you think of your husband?" "You're magnificent." "There's no one like you, Richard." "And you no longer hate me?" "For standing alone against them all against the world, for me." " I want to kneel to my king." " Oh, Berengaria." "It's I who should kneel to my queen." "England will be so proud of you." "But England must be proud of you." "If you could only love me a little." "Oh, Richard." "Much more than a little." " Does anything else matter?" " Yes." "What?" "What matters most is you're wrong." "For making you Queen of England?" "I loved you for doing it, and still you're wrong." "If I could pluck the stars from Heaven to make a brighter crown for you I'd do it." "It's lovely." "But it's nothing." "You are everything." "The crown is yours, not mine." "The fate of these men, the Crusade itself is in your hands." "Richard, if you break with Philip, you wrong God." "And make me guilty." "I have broken already." "But you'd make peace if I were out of the way." "England, France, what's it all matter?" "All that counts now is that I love you and you love me." "But it means your throne, your life." "Richard, send me away." "To a convent." "If you went to 40 convents I'd smash my way through 40 walls to find you." "I won't destroy you." "Destroy me?" "Why, you've given me something to fight for." "I never knew there was such a power of fighting in love." "Would you let our love stand in the way of the whole world?" "In the way of Heaven, if need be." "Why do you look at me like that?" "Berengaria, what are you thinking of?" "Richard, hold me." "Closer." "I am yours." "I do love you, and will love you no matter where I am, forever." "You'll be here in my arms forever." " Nothing else counts, does it?" " Nothing." "I'd give my life for you." "And I will give mine for you." "Kiss me, beloved." "One kiss to last through all eternity." "Oh, Richard." "Make me proud of this sword that I call my husband." "It brought us together." "Till now, it's kept us apart." "The priest said, "Until death."" "Richard promise me one thing." "Anything." "Swear that you'll go on to Jerusalem, no matter what happens that you'll let this sword stand between us until the Crusade is won." "I swear to you, Berengaria that this sword will enter Jerusalem and rest on the tomb." "And if that is not done may it stand between us as man and wife forever." "Make way for Saladin." "Saladin comes." ""He sendeth his bolts and smiteth whom he will."" "Oh, my Sultan, why do I see you in these garments of the Christians?" "So that I may pass through their lines as a Christian knight." "Your life is sacred to Islam." "You must not risk it." "My life is in the hand of Allah." "I must ride to our army in Jerusalem and return with 100,000 horsemen." "Or Acre will fall." "Allah grant that you return unharmed." "As Allah wills." "Have the horses brought to the shepherd's gate in the east wall." "The foes of Islam shall be as dust and the wind of the wrath of Islam shall scatter their dust over the earth." "Fourth hour of the night and all's well." "Fourth hour of the night and all's well." "Fourth hour of the night and all's well." "Stop!" "You can't go out there." "See what you nearly got?" "What are you doing here?" "Holy Mother, the Queen!" "Forgive me, milady." "You can't go out there." "There's nothing out there but death." "Many have died for the Crusade." "I seek the Hermit, the Holy Man." "He's not out yonder." "Then find him for me." "I want him." "I want him to comfort someone who is about to die." "Yes, milady." "Milady, I can't leave my post." "But you can if I order you." "Well..." " I shall keep your post for you." " You?" "I will wear your mantle." "Then no one will know." "Milady, it's kind of rough for you." "I must have something to cover my head." "Will you give me your helmet, too?" "Why, yes." "Now, do I look like a real sentry?" "A very funny sentry." "Please go." "I'll find him." "I'll bring the Holy Man to you, milady." "Thank you." "The Sultan is leaving." "Let your eyes be the eyes of hawks." "There!" "A Christian." "Father look." "Go back, Father." "Run!" "Run for your life!" "Master." "Master, we must ride on." "We must go." "Allah has sent her to me." "I will not let her die."

"Where is she?" " She's gone from Acre with Saladin." " With Saladin!" "They went through our lines toward Jerusalem." "Sound the call to arms." "We go on to Jerusalem." " My horse!" " You cannot, Richard." "Thousands lie dead outside the walls." " The Count of Hungary..." " You heard my orders, Robert." "Sire." "Sire." "The cross."

"Islam does not accept a Christian marriage." "And here is the love of Saladin who holds you ever in his heart who worships your loveliness who would give you all the gifts of the world happiness, power the kings of Asia to kneel at your feet." "That would not bring me happiness." "Words that rise quickly to the lips may not be true." "The truth lies hidden in your heart." "I am your captive." "I do not love you." "Love is not a ring of gold to hold you captive to it." "Love is a flower that blooms at Allah's will." "It is written that you should come to me." "And who can change what is written?" "Master." " Yes?" " Oh, my master, Acre has fallen." "The Christians are on the march." " The Lion King rides to Jerusalem." " Richard." "Tomorrow he will be within sight of the Holy City." "Summon the Amirs." "Tomorrow I shall meet the Lion King in battle." "You will never defeat him." "You shall go with me and from my tent you shall see the foes of Islam swept like dust before the might of Allah." "God forbid." "Crusaders, charge!" "Charge!" "Richard, there is nothing here but the dead." "I tell you, old Hercules is slain." "He saved my life today." "It was by that mound." "And I'm going to find his body." "Search tomorrow, sire, when we can see." "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow we may keep him company in heaven or hell." "Tomorrow we fight again." "What's left of us." "Sire, take care." "There are the lights of Saladin's camp." "All right, I'll go that way." " Sire..." " Blondel, you go this way." " But, Richard, I..." " Here, give me that torch." "Templar, you stay on that mound and watch." "What brings Conrad of Montferrat to me?" "I offer you victory." "Tomorrow I shall win it." "The Crusade is broken." "Not yet." "Victory is not sure while Richard of England lives." " You're his brother's friend." " And would be yours." "What price do you ask for your treachery?" "The kingdom of Jerusalem, which I shall rule under you." "And what do you offer me?" "Richard's death." "Within the hour, he will lie on the battlefield among the slain." "Who would slay your Lion of the Crusades?" "Fifteen swords of mine follow him where he goes alone." "With Richard dead, you will rule unchallenged in Asia." "I have no traffic with assassins." "Away with this dog!" "My Lord Sultan, you can save him." " Your Lion King?" " Yes." "It is not my hand that will strike him down." "Would you let him die by the swords of traitors?" "He is the tempest that has shaken Islam." "My men have died beneath his sword." "But you can tell him, warn him." "If he were here, as you are, my captive then I would spare him." " For a ransom?" " Yes." "Then I will be his ransom." " You, my Princess?" " Yes, yes." "Take me to be your wife, but save his life." "Send men to aid him quickly or quickly warn him before it's too late." " You will open your arms to my love?" " Yes, yes, I promise." "Karakush." "Ride to the English King." "He searches among the dead on the battlefield." "Say to him:" ""Guard thyself against the soldiers of Montferrat."" "Oh, my Sultan guard thyself against this accursed Christian woman." " Go." " I obey." "Ride swiftly." "Swiftly." "Sire." "Hercules!" "Old Smithy." "They told me you were dead." " Here, let me." " No, lad." "No, lad." "I'm done." "I wanted to tell you, Richard..." "Yes?" "I've been lying here by it, thinking it's more than a sword I made for you, lad." "Nothing else..." " ...matters..." " Steady, steady." "...if you've got this." "The cross." "Old Hercules." "If you..." "If you really are there receive this old man's soul." "Whose men are these?" "Conrad of Montferrat's." "But they obey me." "And what message do you bring me now?" "Your death." "Strike him down!" "Strike him!" "Kill him!" "Look out!" "Go at him!" "Back, you treacherous dogs!" "Pull him down!" "How is it that Saracens come to the aid of the English King?" "By Allah, I come not of my own will." "Then who sent you?" "The Christian Queen." "Berengaria?" "Where is she?" "In the tent of my master." "Get off, you dog!" "Give me that horse!" "The tent of your master?" "Oh, my master, the King of the Christians." "Let him pass." "Richard." "Lion King, you come unbidden to my tent." "I have come for my wife." "She is my captive." "You were not wise to seek her here." "Now I hold you as my army holds within its ranks the remnant of your Crusaders I have conquered." "If I die here, at least I'll take you with me and my men will fill hell with your infidels." "By Allah, I wish you might have been my brother, not my foe." "I offer the Lion what I would offer no other man." "Your Crusade is crushed." "Your kingdom is seized by your brother, John and other traitors seek your life." "Surrender yourself." "Accept Islam, and I will make you King of Jerusalem." "I fight for the cross." "No." "You wear the cross of one who gave his life in this very land that men might be at peace." "But you have no faith in that cross." "Those who follow me have faith." "In their blood, they crawled to that cross in Acre." "Shall I break faith with them now?" "Oh, no, Richard, no." "Not to save my life." "You have chosen your fate." "What ransom will you take for my wife?" "Whatever you ask, I grant." "I will take no ransom." "She promised herself to me, and she is mine." " You'll not say that and live!" " Richard!" " Ho!" " Richard!" " Out of my way!" "Richard, if it's blood you want, I'll tear open my wound." "Let my blood flow with yours and all the others." " Oh, my love, they've hurt you." " No, no." "No, Saladin healed me, cared for me." "You owe your own life to him." "To Saladin?" "She promised herself to me, to save your life." " I'll not accept my life at that price!" " Richard!" " Do you intend to keep your promise?" " Yes." "Richard, you must believe I've never loved anyone but you." "I love you now." "Don't make me suffer more." "If only we could put an end to pain, if only we could have peace." "If you fight on, thousands and thousands more will die." "Richard, you mustn't." "You know how to yield to a conqueror." "Do you think to teach me?" "We've been blind." "We were proud, dearest, when we took the cross and in our pride, we fought to conquer Jerusalem." "We tried to ride through blood to the Holy Place of God." "And now..." "Now we suffer." "The Holy City of Allah." "What if we call him Allah or God?" "Shall men fight because they travel different roads to him?" "There is only one God." "His cross is burned deep into our hearts." "It's here and we must carry it with us wherever we go." "Don't you see, Richard?" "There's only one way." "Peace." "Make peace between Christian and Saracen." "You ask me to lay down my sword?" "If you love me." "Sultan I offer you peace." "You ask for the truce of Allah?" "Truce of Allah or peace of God, yes." " I ask it for the Crusade." " Upon what terms?" "The gates of Jerusalem shall be opened and all Christian captives shall be freed." "All Muslim captives in Acre shall be freed." "Every Christian shall be allowed to enter Jerusalem." "If they bear no arms." "Granted." "They shall come in peace to the tomb and go in peace." "All but you Lion of the Christians, the foe of Islam you may not enter the gates." "I vowed to go to Jerusalem with my sword." "And I vowed you should never pass the gates of Jerusalem." "I offer terms your sword could never win." "Richard." "Richard, you hold the peace of the world in your hands." "What does it matter what happens to us if men can live and the Holy City be freed?" "Berengaria, you know what you ask?" "Yes." "We've come to our cross, beloved." "We carry our love and the pain of it deep in our hearts." "Your terms are granted." "It stands between us as man and wife forever." "I make peace with you." "Let there be peace." "You love him deeply." "Oh, God I was blind." "But now I see." "I know now you really are here." "I've come through blood to your Holy City." "Have pity on the fool that I am." "The Holy Man was right." "Your cross has burned deep into my heart." "I'm no longer king." "I've no pride now no glory." "I kneel to my God." "Grant me your mercy and give her back to me." "Have pity on a penitent fool." "Jerusalem is freed!" "The war is over." "Freedom!" "Freedom!" "The Crusade!" "The Crusade is at the gates!" "I'm free!" "I can see the light." "Open the gates!"
