William rose to the occasion, unyieldingly earning Richard's trust and admiration. Acknowledging William's unwavering loyalty and martial prowess, Richard appointed him a key advisor, entrusting him with crucial responsibilities.
When Richard embarked on the Third Crusade in 1190, he named William co-regent, tasking him with governing England during his absence. Thrust into newfound responsibility, William steered the kingdom with unshakable resolve.
During the Third Crusade, Richard was captured by Leopold V, Duke of Austria, and handed over to Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor, who demanded a staggering sum for his release. As co-regent, William Marshal focused on ensuring England's stability and security, while others, like Richard's mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, worked tirelessly to raise the ransom needed for Richard's freedom. Meanwhile, Richard's brother John conspired with Philip II of France to usurp the throne.
