Richard the Lionheart MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Richard the Lionheart? Richard the Lionheart is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sp - in Enneagram, in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
He's a 7w8, He treated his domains more as a piggy bank to fund his wars rather than a territory that needs to be managed. I believe an 8 would be much more attentive in asserting control over their domain rather than messing around in a crusade and warring against France. The fact that he spent only 6 months of his 10 year reign inside his kingdom exemplifies his neglect of his responsibilities.
Biography
King Richard I of England, called Cœur-de-Lion (or the Lion-Heart(ed)) in French, was born at Oxford, England, September 8, 1157, and died at Chalus-Chabrol, France, April 6, 1199. The son of Henry II of The House of Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard came to the throne in 1189, and thereafter spent no more than six months of his ten years' reign in England. Both in his life and after his death, Richard's reputation has fluctuated wildly, from champion of Christendom and paragon of chivalry to blood-thirsty butcher, from beef-witted thug to poet and musician, from feckless political blunderer to shrewd diplomat and statesman, from insatiable womanizer to (latterly) insatiable... er... man-izer. Nevertheless, one aspect of his fame has remained constant — his reputation as a particularly badass warrior, one which resonates to this day: he is one of the only Kings of England to be more usually known by his epithet rather than regnal number.
