  1. william rufus

    William Rufus was the son of William the Conqueror and reigned as King of England from 1087 until his death in 1100. His nickname "Rufus" came from his noticeable red-faced appearance. His reign was marked by conflicts with his elder brother, Robert II of Normandy, disputes with the church, and frequent tension with his barons due to his autocratic ruling style. He died under mysterious circumstances during a hunting accident, leading to several suspicions and conspiracy theories.
