Morphology

Richard + I + of + England

The parts 'Richard' (a personal name), 'I' (the ordinal/roman numeral one), and 'of England' allow a learner to infer this refers to Richard the First associated with England and likely a historical ruler. However, the precise information that he was King of England from 1189–1199 and his role in the Third Crusade cannot be derived from the constituents alone, so the meaning is only partially predictable.

Etymology

Richard I of England was a king from the late 1100s who was famous for great courage in battle. People called him 'the Lionheart' because he led soldiers and fought bravely during the Third Crusade, so the name makes you picture a bold, fearless king.
