k Knight," at the tournament, and is called _Le Noir Fain['e]ant_, or
"The Black Sluggard;" also "The Knight of the Fetter-lock."

_Richard a Name of Terror._ The name of Richard I., like that of Attila,
Bonaparte, Corv[=i]nus, Narses, Sebastian, Talbot, Tamerlane, and other
great conquerors, was at one time employed _in terrorem_ to disobedient
children. (See NAMES OF TERROR.)

His tremendous name was employed by the Syrian mothers to silence
their infants; and if a horse suddenly started from the way, his
rider was wont to exclaim, "Dost thou think King Richard is in the
bush?"--Gibbon, _Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_, xi. 146
(1776-88).

_The Daughters of Richard I._ When Richard was in France, Fulco, a
priest, told him he ought to beware how he bestowed his daughters in
marriage. "I have no daughters," said the king. "Nay, nay," replied
Fulco, "all the world knows that you have three--Pride, Covetousness and
Lechery." "If these are my daughters," said the king, "I know well how
to bestow them where they will be well cherished. My eldest I give to
the Knights Templars, my second to the monks; and my third I cannot
bestow better than on yourself, for I am sure she will never be divorced
nor neglected."--Thomas Milles, _True Nobility_ (1610).

_The Horse of Richard I._, Fennel.

Ah, Fennel, my noble horse, thou bleedest, thou art
slain!--_Coeur de Lion and His Horse._

=Richard Pennyroyal=, unhappy man whose weary indifference to his first
wife heightens into aversion as she becomes insane. He is relieved when
she drowns herself. His second wife, passionately beloved, is unfaithful
to him, and loathes him as he drinks more and more to drown
disappointment. His rival triumphs over him in a struggle for property,
but Richard has his wife still. Straying one night toward the pool in
which his first wife drowned herself, he comes upon the false wife and
her lover, challenges the latter to a duel then and there, and is shot
through the heart. His body is tossed into the pool and never
discovered.--Julian Hawthorne, _Archibald Malmaison_ (1878).
