Document Summary
Innocent had helped strengthen the kingdom of france. This happened whether he meant to or not. France was still ruled by capetian kings like philip augustus. His nickname signaled his growing power and imperial ambitions. He was on the third crusade with lionheart and barbarossa. He gained a lot more by focusing on europe: richard the lionheart. He fought saladin and his entire army alone. This led to a truce between him and saladin. It kept a narrow strip of christian land. He was held for ransom by forces in the hre. Between 1192 and 1194, he was held captive by leopold of austria. They were angered by his support for the house of welf. The hohenstaufen emperor demanded a very large ransom to release him back to england. With richard gone, his brother john became angevin king of england. He inherited normandy, aquitaine, anjou, and other continental territories.
