RICHARD I, King of England (1157-99)
Affectionately known as Coeur de Lion, the Lionheart, Richard I is the nearest thing England has ever had to an absentee landlord. He spent only six months of his ten-year reign actually in England, and his queen, Berengaria, is the only English queen never to have been in England.
