A ransom is a price paid to purchase someone's freedom.
In 1193, the English King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, was returning from leading a Crusade to the Holy Land. As he returned through Europe, Leopold V captured him in Austria. The Holy Roman Emperor demanded a ransom for Richard's release. The price was to be 150,000 marks, equal to three tons of silver. This was an enormous ransom demand. But the people of England so loved their king they submitted to extra taxation and many nobles donated their fortunes for Richard's release. After many months, the money was raised and King Richard returned to England. That's where we get the expression, ''a king's ransom.''

This was during the crusades and he was captured by the enemy and upon negotiating his release, it was deemed that his bride ''Lady Sybil'' would cut of her right hand. Tradition says that in a fair amount of time a messenger arrived carting her severed hand and her husband was released. If you read about this story on the internet you will find several versions and the names are different in many versions but you can go here and find someone that has done much research on this story:
''At Home The Hills - Lady Sybil's Hand''
Greater Love - One's Life as a Ransom
John Redpath, in his sermon, The Love of God, relates this story: On the southern border of the empire of Cyrus, there lived a great chieftain named Cagular who tore to shreds and completely defeated the various detachments of Cyrus' army sent to subdue him ...
