King William II, also known as William Rufus, was one of the four Norman kings who ruled over England. Born in 1056, he ascended to the throne in 1087 after the death of his father, King William I. Despite his short reign that ended tragically in 1100, King William II left a lasting impact on English history. Often depicted with fiery red hair and a fierce demeanor, portraits capture his commanding presence. His rule was marked by both controversy and military prowess. Known for getting his army together swiftly when needed, he earned the nickname "Rufus" due to his red-haired appearance. However, it was the circumstances surrounding his death that remain shrouded in mystery and intrigue. In 1099, while hunting in the New Forest at Stoney Cross, tragedy struck as an arrow pierced through him. The event became famously known as "The Death of William Rufus. " Some speculate it was an accident during a hunting mishap while others suspect foul play. Regardless of how he met his demise, King William II's passing had far-reaching consequences for England's political landscape. His sudden death paved the way for Henry I to seize power and establish stability after a period of uncertainty. Today, reminders can still be found scattered across historical records and landmarks like Rufus Stone in Lyndhurst within New Forest National Park. These remnants serve as poignant reminders of this enigmatic ruler whose reign may have been brief but left an indelible mark on English history.
