Description
While trying to return to England after the Third Crusade bad weather forced Richard's ship to put in at Corfu. Disguised as a Knight Templar, Richard the Lionheart sailed from Corfu with four attendants, but his ship was wrecked near Aquileia, forcing Richard and his party into a dangerous land route through central Europe. On his way to the territory of his brother-in-law Henry the Lion, Richard was captured shortly before Christmas 1192 near Vienna by Leopold V, Duke of Austria, who accused Richard of arranging the murder of his cousin Conrad of Montferrat.
