Best Answer

The first "British" King was William I, although he came from France. He ruled from 1066-1080 or something. William never read the Doomsday Book because, like most people back then, didn't know how to read. His son, William II, had bright red hair and red cheeks and that gave him the nickname Rufus. Which is Latin for "red".
