Pierre Basile (died April 6, 1199), also named Bertran de Gurdun and John Sabroz was a French boy famous for shooting King Richard I of England with a crossbow at the siege of Châlus-Charbrol on March 26, 1199. King Richard, who had removed some of his chainmail, was not mortally-wounded by Basile's bolt; however, the wound resulted in gangrene, and Richard's subsequent death occurred on April 6 of the same year.
