'''William II (Rufus)''' (c. 1054/1060 - 2nd August 1100), King of [[England]], 1087-1100. Second son of [[William I]], The Conqueror, was granted the Crown of England at the deathbed of his father, while [[Robert Curthose]], the oldest son, became Duke of [[Normandy]]; decisions that caused resentment from Robert and much unrest amongst the barons who preferred a single ruler of both lands.
