Richard the Lionheart marries on Cyprus
On 12 May 1191, on his way to the Third Crusade, Richard I of England married Berengaria, daughter of the King of Navarre, at Limassol in Cyprus. Richard had just seized the island after its Byzantine ruler mistreated the shipwrecked party carrying his sister Joan and his bride. Berengaria was crowned queen on the same day, but the couple spent little time together and had no children.
