Цитата из самой качественной биографии Ричарда I:
After supper on the evening of 26 March 1199, although daylight was beginning to fade, Richard left his tent in order to observe the progress of the siege and to exercise (as he often did) his own skill with a crossbow. Because he was not riding into battle he wore no armour except an iron headpiece [шапель-де-фер, если точнее], relying for protection on the rectangular shield which was carried before him. That day only one member of the garrison, a crossbowman using a frying pan [sartagine - sartago и означает "сковорода"] as a shield, was brave enough to show himself on the ramparts. It was a splendidly makeshift gesture of defiance but to the professional soldiers under Richard's command his occasional shots could be nothing more than a minor irritant. The lone figure of the crossbowman with the frying pan was still visible on the parapets of the doomed castle and Richard could not help applauding as the man sent a well-aimed bolt in his direction. As a result he was fractionally late in ducking behind the shield and was struck on the left shoulder. Not wishing either to alarm his own men or to give heart to the defenders, he made no sound. Calmly he returned to his tent as though nothing had happened. Once inside he tried to pull out the bolt but succeeded only in breaking off the wooden shaft, leaving the iron barb, the length of a man's hand, deeply embedded in the flesh. Then a surgeon arrived. Working by the flickering light of torches he managed to remove the bolt; but the shoulder was badly hacked about. The wounds from the bolt and the surgeon's knife were then treated and bandaged up. The king's wound turned gangrenous and daily the infection spread. Richard had seen too many men die not to know what was happening to him. He wrote to his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she came in haste. To keep the news from getting out Richard stayed in his tent, allowing only four of his most trusted associates to enter. (10) Soon afterwards Chalus-Chabrol fell. But it was no longer a victory. Richard forgave the man who had shot him, then confessed his sins and received extreme unction. At Chalus on 6 April, as evening came, he died (11)
11 This account of the siege and of Richard's death is based on Coggeshall, 94-6. But the date is Howden's, Chron., iv, 84. As an ex-chancery clerk he ought to have been precise about such matters; Coggeshall gives 7 April.

Так что никакой сковороды для метания, увы.
