Anyone who displays the courage of a lion is lionhearted, from firefighters willing to risk their lives to save other people to a shy child who walks bravely into a new school on her own, determined to make friends. The adjective lionhearted shows up in many works of literature, and history as well — the most famous person described this way was King Richard I of England, called Richard the Lionheart because of his bravery in war.
