neglected England. Whilst it is true that Richard I may have little interest in England, he did manage to use his diplomatic skills to secure England’s borders. On the other hand, it can be argued that he was too military based which portrays him as a war-obsessed king who did not succeed in the Crusades; he also failed to form key alliances. Richard I did leave a well-respected man, Hubert Walter, in charge during his absence who kept Richard informed as to what was happening in England. Furthermore
John I was born on December 24, 1167 as the youngest son of Henry II and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

This paper explores the content and stylist imbued meaning in Robinson Edwin Arlington 1897 poem; Richard Cory. “Richard Cory” is a sixteen stanza poem that narrates the rich, elitist and nobility, but socially unfulfilling life of a man bearing the name that forms the title of the poem. The name Richard Cory is metaphorically derived from King Richard I; Richard Coeur de Lion (1157-1199) of England, and is used by the poet as a satire to mock the illusionary blissful contentment of the poem’s protagonist
Richard Cory was written in 1897 by Edwin Arlington Robinson. This sixteen line poem tells a lot about human irony. Richard Cory, a very wealthy man, admired and envied by those who consider themselves less fortunate than he, unexpectedly commits suicide. The most fascinating part of this poem is the reason why he shot himself when he had everything? Through their own mental prejudices and exaggerations of reality, the people, by putting Cory on a higher level than them, also created a communication

gives a fairly impartial view of this holy war. He discusses the battles, politics, and emotions of the Crusade as an outside party and if he takes any side at all it is with the Muslims. He often speaks badly of King Richard and he speaks well of Saladin, the sultan. He portrays Richard as a greedy, anti-Semite, who is intolerable of other religions, while he shows Saladin as tolerant to the Jews, reasonable, and an overall good leader.
