Description

Richard having the gold weighed in his presence. In 1190, after the death of King William II of Sicily, his cousin Tancred seized power and imprisoned William's widow, Queen Joan, who was Richard the Lionheart's sister. Richard arrived, demanded Joan be released and given her inheritance; she was freed, but without the inheritance. Richard attacked and captured Messina. A treaty was signed by Richard, King Philip of France, and Tancred Joan was to receive 20,000 ounces of gold as compensation for her inheritance. Richard officially proclaimed his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, as his heir, and Tancred promised to marry one of his daughters to Arthur when he came of age.
