A little caution goes a long way

WI Richard the Lionheart had not died as foolishly as he did at the age of 41?
Well... Obviously, under his leadership the laws of magic are discovered and regularized, and the Anglo-French empire goes on to be the predominant world power, ruling New England (the northern American continent) and New France (the southern one), with the Duchy of Mechico (sp?) a major supporter of their rule under the line of dukes descended from Moctezuma I.

Edit: of course, then it'd have to be the Books and Media forum:)

You do realise that Richard was nothing but a foreign chap who spent less time in England than in the Holy Land and gave us nothing but big bills and a pointless saint?

Totally irrelevant. The people loved him and his iconography will live forever. Trying to rationally analyse political figures ancient or modern will never give you the right answer.
 
If he survives and goes onto win the War, he'd be spending a good deal of his time in France I think, only going to England when needed. He'd probably go on another Crusade if he was certain of security and with the lack of attention on England, we'd probably not see a Magna Carta unless John manages to weasel into power someway.
