About William II of England

William II (Anglo-Norman: Williame; c. 1057 – 2 August 1100) was King of England from 26 September 1087 until his death in 1100, with powers over Normandy and influence in Scotland. The third son of William the Conqueror, he is commonly referred to as William Rufus (Latin for "the Red"), perhaps because of his ruddy face or, more likely, his red hair.
