What would King Richard I be wearing as he was captured after the Third Crusade?

by NemoFries

Hi! I'm working on a project and according to the director, King Richard was captured because he wore kingly rings, can anyone elaborate for me, not just on the rings but his clothing and accessories (like scabbards etc) and include sources? Thank you and happy Friday!

Hello again! In fact I wrote about how Richard was captured in a previous post, which will hopefully be helpful:

How was Richard the Lionheart captured? Where was his army? What did his captivity look like?

There are different stories about how he was captured - he was wearing a ring that was obviously too expensive for his disguise, or he or his retinue were spending a suspicious amount of money.
