William Two - The King

 

People



William II was a king from 1087 to 1100 who was the third son of William I and Matilda.

His passion was hunting more than being a ruler per se. This passion led him to his demise since a friend of his mistakenly shot an arrow that killed him quasi-instantly.

He was born in Normany in 1056 and lived until 1100.

William II was also called Rufus because of his physical complexion. He was said to rule with strength rather than with power which led to many economical problems of war. Nevertheless, this also made him conquer Scotland and manage many conflicts in Normandy.

When he died, the church refused to give him a burial as he was in constant struggles with the church.
