Understanding the Context

Because of its royal pedigree, the name never truly fell out of fashion, remaining a staple in the Western world for nearly a thousand years. Richard would have his revenge on Dreux when the Bishop was captured, clad in a mailcoat and fully armed, by Richard's men in 1197; the king promptly clapped him into prison, from whence he was released only in 1200, a year after Richard's death. It was borne by three kings of England including the 12th-century Richard I the Lionheart, one of the leaders of the Third Crusade. During the late Middle Ages this name was typically among the five most common for English males (with John, William, Robert and Thomas).
