But he never had any children

Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard's mother, was the only lady he gave much thought to. Richard had little interest in women. Richard eventually got married three years after taking the kingdom at age 31 without a wife. When Richard was nine years old, he was set to wed Alys, Countess of the Vexin, Louis VII of France's fourth child. Alys was allegedly taken as Henry II's mistress when the marriage was never consummated. Berengaria of Navarre, Richard's new finance, was taken prisoner after the ship she was traveling on became stuck in Cyprus in 1191.

To release her and his sister who was going with her, Richard overcame Cyprus. She followed him on crusade after their marriage in Cyprus, but she returned on her own. She arrived in England just after Richard passed away, and the couple never had children. But because he sought to take over the Kingdom of Navarre, his marriage to Berengaria of Navarre was strategic. As a result, the two spent very little time together and had no children.
