September 3, 1189 - Following the death of his father Henry II, Richard I (the Lionheart) was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey in London. He spoke very little English and spent very little time in England (he preferred to live in his Duchy of Aquitaine). During the whole of his 10 year reign he was in England for about a total of six months.
