Once he died, it was days after agree to philips demand and was a humuliation to Henry II himself. The world mourned about the kings death and everyone felt bad but for Richards, it was conveniently for him.
Culture
The culture of England is at least slightly reserved. While they do have similarities to us, like the fact that they dress casually, are mostly Christian, and fund schools with taxes. But they are slow to show enthusiasm unlike us, of course. They seem to hold tradition at least somewhat high, considering the fact that they have a monarch even though they are not a monarchy. That is what the culture of England at least seems like.
