英法之间很太平，理查国王和法国国王菲利普·奥古斯是从小同床共枕的好基友，理查在法国的领地比菲利普·奥古斯还多。虽然第三次十字军东征的时候两个人吵了点小架，菲利普·奥古斯在成功围困阿克城以后打道回府，却没忘记把他的绝大多数战斗人员都留在了巴勒斯坦，外加五千马克的金银，生怕理查缺军队缺军饷，实在是贤惠得一塌糊涂，以至于我不得不怀疑菲利普·奥古斯会突然回去，是不是因为理查和萨拉丁搞出激情，于是他生气了。
菲利普·奥古斯回国以后，留下的法军由他的堂兄兼姐夫勃艮第公爵雨果三世率领，于是接下来发生了这么一幕：
During the first stages of the Crusaders’ march south from Acre, Hugues and the French formed the rearguard, bearing the brunt of a determined attack by Saladin on 30 August when Hugues of Burgundy demonstrated considerable capability as a field commander. He was subsequently co-commander of the whole Crusader army at the battle of Arsuf, but relations between the French and Angevin contingents were already deteriorating with the quarrel between Hugues and Richard soon becoming public. The Duke of Burgundy’s money also ran out and he had to borrow from Richard to pay his troops. After Richard abandoned the Crusader advance towards Jerusalem, Hugues withdrew his men in disgust, after which Richard not surprisingly stopped paying them. The English also accused Hugues of Burgundy of composing a rude song about King Richard, to which the English king responded with a rival song. Duke Hugues III of Burgundy died in Acre shortly before peace was concluded and King Richard, who was also ill, is said to have started feeling better as soon as he heard the news.
我自己翻译的译文：在十字军离开阿克城向南行军的第一阶段，雨果和法军作为后卫，首当其冲在8月30日遭到萨拉丁的攻击，勃艮第的雨果的表现证明他是个出色的现场指挥官。后来在阿尔苏夫大战之中，他成了整支十字军的联合司令，但是随着雨果与理查的矛盾公开化，法军与安茹军之间的关系也随之恶化。同时勃艮第公爵快没钱了，不得不向理查借钱来支付他的军队的军饷。理查抛弃十字军、向着耶路撒冷进军之后，雨果满怀厌恶地下令他的军队撤退，理查也就毫不意外地拒绝继续付他们钱。英方指责勃艮第的雨果作了一首与理查国王有关的粗鲁的歌，英国国王也毫不客气地回敬了一首歌。在和平到来不久以前，勃艮第公爵雨果三世在阿克城去世，当时理查国王也病了，说他听到这个消息时，顿时感觉好了很多。
一边吵架一边向吵架对象借钱，那个吵架对象居然还肯借。老外是有多缺心眼？还有空作歌扯犊子。这仗是打得多悠闲？最后那句尤其让人无语，一个过往一个公爵，简直像幼儿园小朋友一样，如果公爵没死，我很怀疑他们是不是接下来就要开始互相扔泥巴。
