In 1192, King Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) was captured by Duke Leopold V of Austria after attempting to flee to his brother-in-law in Saxony. Despite being imprisoned in golden chains, Richard maintained his royal dignity and refused to acknowledge his captor's authority, declaring himself 'God's chosen King' and claiming that even Saladin could not make him a prisoner, demonstrating how medieval monarchs often maintained their sense of royal identity and divine right even in captivity.
