REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: William the Conqueror requested a large number of Jews to move to England after his conquest. They spoke Norman & did well under his reign. They continued to thrive under William's grandson Henry II. When Richard was coronated, he did so "in a bath of Jewish blood."
REF: British Monarchy Official Website: Henry's son, Richard I (reigned 1189 to 1199), fulfilled his ambition by going on crusade in 1190 leaving the ruling of England to others. Returning from the Holy Land, Richard was captured in Austria and imprisoned in Germany for more than a year. In his absence, Philip Augustus, king of France, invaded Normandy. However by the time of his death, Richard had recovered all his lands. His success was short lived (with the loss of them permanently under John his successor).
