King Richard III was Richard the Lionheart.

Nope. Richard III was the last of the Plantagenets, 1483-5. The blackhearted scoundrel who imprisoned, and probably killed, the young Edward V, and was defeated and killed by Henry Tudor (Henry VII).
Richard I Coeur de Lion ruled from 1189-1199, joined in the 3rd Crusade, and hardly ever set foot in England at all.

My grandfather came from about 20 clicks down the road in Pianna deglie Albanesi. He didn't look anything like the Don. Well maybe he was balding and a little overweight and mumbled a lot. But that's as far as any similarties went.

Right. What are they going to do about Palermo? Remember when the police cordoned off the whole city, back in the eighties?
