King Richard (Disney Animated Canon)

King Richard is the overarching protagonist of the 1973 Disney animated film, Robin Hood. He is the king of England, the older brother of Prince John and the uncle of Maid Marian.
He was voiced by the late Peter Ustinov, who also voiced Prince John.
==Biography==
King Richard was hypnotized by Sir Hiss to leave for war and his brother Prince John took over. However he later returned, immediately reclaims his throne from his brother, upon discovering his terrible deeds and had John along with Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham arrested for their crimes against poor people and it is unknown what he did to the Rhino guards and Wolf arrowmen before watching the wedding of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, though it can be assumed that he had the Rhino guards and Wolf arrowmen, who were loyal to Prince John, being arrested as well.
==Trivia==
*Richard is Marian's uncle despite the two being separate species (Richard being a lion and Marian being a fox). Though it is possible that he is her uncle by marriage and that his wife is sisters with either Marian's mother or father.
*Richard bears a resemblance to two Disney characters, He looks like Mufasa and his clothing is similar to the Archdeacon's. Also the reason why Richard is a lion in the film is because in real life, Richard's nickname was Richard the Lionheart.
**Oddly enough, King Richard in Disney's Robin Hood first appeared in 1973, while Mufasa made his debut in 1994, with the release of The Lion King, and the Archdeacon made his debut in 1996, with the release of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So King Richard preceded Mufasa in 21 years, and the Archdeacon in 23 years.
