The Lion King a Richard the Lionheart Timeline

Cyprus, 1191

On 1191, Richard would have his first night with his wife with his wife Berengaria, Berengaria herself would feel sad that they would be apart since the two had barely known each other, during that night Berengaria would talk to Richard.

Berengaria would say to Richard

“I have just seen you now, my king, Ricardo so that we have our consummation of the marriage and soon we will be apart, I am sad because we would not have time to get to know each other.”

Richard would reply to Berengaria

“Berenguela, you know, we have seen each other for a short time, you should know that we are married due to duty.”

Berenguela would have two repeats of sleeping with her husband, Richard until the two separated from each other and on one of those, she would have conceived a son which she would have presented to her husband on 1194 when they reunited on Jerusalem.

On Spring of 1192 on her way to Jerusalem she would have given birth to a son she would christened as Henry of England.

Note: King John is a Scar like Character...right so I will have England usurped by him still.

Jeremy Irons' performance as Prince John in the movie was pure effin class.

Jerusalem, 1192

When Berengaria and Richard would meet again in Jerusalem, Richard would see his son, Henry of England who he would have named as Henry of Cyprus.

Berengaria would present their first son, Henry.

“Ricardo, here is your first son, Enrique.”

Berengaria would be hugged by Richard as she had already done her own duties as the wife of the King of England

Berengaria would be happy to meet her husband since the time they left each other in Cyprus and she would be delighted that she would have more time to see her husband more.

The two would sleep repeatedly on Jerusalem until there were issues during negotiations and Berengaria would have another son named William conceived during that time but he would have no time meet him

If Richard left an heir of his blood John can be only the regent as Richard will not have any reason for naming him as heir instead of his own son (unlike OTL were Richard choose his brother over his nephew)

 

[Some Bloke]

Richard = Mufasa
John = Scar
Henry = Simba

Who's Nala
Who are Timon and Pumba?

Nala = Maria of Montferrat of Jerusalem

If Richard left an heir of his blood John can be only the regent as Richard will not have any reason for naming him as heir instead of his own son (unlike OTL were Richard choose his brother over his nephew)

But both Philippe and John would want the two children out of the way, the Kids would be under Berengaria's care like what happened to Theobald, her nephew.

 

[Some Bloke]

Maybe TTL's Lion King is a Shakespeare play. James Earl Jones doing a soliloquy (sic?) Anyone?

Kind off.

 

[Some Bloke]

Also couldn't help but laugh at Dick having a son called Willy. Does this mean John has a son named Thomas? Sounds just like the kind of joke Disney would slip under the radar and Shakespeare would just throw in for a cheap laugh.

 

[Some Bloke]

Question is, does the Lion King meet Robin Hood? Or is that a separate Shakespeare History play ITTL? Wait, scratch the Shakespeare idea. How about a series of plays by Christopher Marlowe? The Lion's Legacy. Whether the Fox of Sherwood is part of the series is up for debate even to this day.

Castile, 1193

Berenguela of Castile would be against a marriage with Conrad of Swabia.

Eleanor of Aquitaine would speak to her grandmother that she did not want the betrothal and marriage with Conrad of Swabia as she would be affected by her possible marriage and they would try to find a solution.

Eleanor of Aquitaine would say

“Berenguela, I know that you are against the possible marriage with Conrad of Swabia and have pressed on the annulment of the precontract.”

Berengaria would say.

“What would be the solution?”

Eleanor of Aquitaine would say..

“I will find one”

On her return to Aquitaine, Eleanor of Aquitaine would arrange Eleanor of Brittany as the replacement bride of Conrad of Swabia.

Baldwin of Bethune would escort Eleanor of Brittany to Swabia where she would marry Conrad of Swabia on the beginning of 1194, which would lessen the support of the Holy Roman Emperor to the Duke of Austria in his future capture of Richard I of England.

Hmm, maybe ITTL Disney gets some kudos for repopularising Marlowe's works.

Disney might not even exist ITTL..

 

[Some Bloke]

Hmm, maybe Timon and Pumba are a pair of doughty soldiers who instill a healthy respect for England and its language into the young Prince Henry.

Probably not but I'm on a roll here.

They are rather, the friends of Queen Berengaria.

 

[Some Bloke]

They are rather, the friends of Queen Berengaria.

Welp, so much for an English speaking king a few centuries earlier, unless one of his supporters in exile is Sir Walter of Ivanhoe. Fun fact, there's no evidence that anyone who was anyone in England bothered to learn English until the 14th Century.

So would John still be the Wicked Uncle and dare have his nephews killed? Maybe it'd be a little more difficult than with Arthur OTL.

Yes, at least here, Henry of Cyprus and William of Aquitaine are in the continent with their mother in her kingdom, compared to Arthur whose mother is already dead when he pressed for the crown.

Aquitaine, 1199


In the early evening of March 25, 1199, Richard was walking around the castle perimeter without his chainmail, investigating the progress of sappers on the castle walls. Missiles were occasionally shot from the castle walls, but these were given little attention. One defender, in particular, amused the king greatly—a man standing on the walls, crossbow in one hand, the other clutching a frying pan he had been using all day as a shield to beat off missiles. He deliberately aimed at the king, which the king applauded; however, another crossbowman then struck the king in the left shoulder near the neck. He tried to pull this out in the privacy of his tent but failed; a surgeon called a "butcher" by Howden, removed it, "carelessly mangling" the King's arm in the process.

The wound swiftly became gangrenous. Richard asked to have the crossbowman brought before him; called alternatively Pierre (or Peter) Basile, John Sabroz, Dudo, and Bertrand de Gourdon (from the town of Gourdon) by chroniclers, the man turned out (according to some sources, but not all) to be a boy. He said Richard had killed his father and two brothers, and that he had killed Richard in revenge. He expected to be executed, but as a final act of mercy Richard forgave him, saying "Live on, and by my bounty behold the light of day", before he ordered the boy to be freed and sent away with 100 shillings. It is unclear whether the King's pardon was upheld following his death. Richard then set his affairs in order, bequeathing all his territory to his sons Henry of Cyprus and his other son, William Sancho and his jewels to his nephew Otto.

After the burial of Richard, Berengaria and her sons are no where to be found in England and did not return to England and John Lackland would take control of the English crown.

Apparently, Berengaria and her sons would be saddened by the death of Richard the Lionheart and went to her brother Sancho to take care of her sons in Navarre as she does not trust her brother in law, John.

Berengaria

“Sancho, I am sad about the death of my husband, what should I do and my brother in law is plotting against us.”

Sancho

“You should not worry, Berenguela, you are safe here.”
