A174S - Richard the Lionheart Hand Decorated Decorative Chess Set
A174S Richard the Lionheart Hand Decorated Decorative Chess Set
King Height 95mm.
A perfect theme for a chess set. The famous Couer de Lion Richard the Lionheart was known as such even before his accession, because of his miltary reputation. At only 16, Richard had his own command, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father, Henry II. Richard was a central Christian commander during the Third Crusade, effectively leading the campaign after the departure of Philip Augustus, and scoring considerable victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin. This chess set depicts the characters, particularly Richard. The set comes in two versions - this one is the hand decorated set, finished in Gold and Silver striking colouring.
