Remember Robin Hood (my favorite Disney cartoon, actually)? Well, the real King Richard the Lionheart got his name, apparently, not because he had a stalwart heart--something I strongly believed in my youth-but because the man apparently "thrust his arm down a lion's throat to pull out its heart."
Granted, this could have been an extra exploit added on by some overzealous minstrel singing of the Crusaders' bloody deeds.
