William II (William Rufus)
William the Second was known as William Rufus, (he may have had a red face - rufus means "red').
King William II of England was nicknamed "Rufus," which is derived from the Latin word for "red," likely referring to his ruddy complexion or hair color. He reigned from 1087 until his death in 1100 and was the son of William the Conqueror. His rule was marked by conflicts with the nobility and a focus on consolidating power. William II died under mysterious circumstances while hunting in the New Forest.
William the Conqeuror was another heir to the throne (and so was Harold). William was from Normandy and he sailed to England to claim the throne. Harold was elected to be the next king by the nobles, but William insisted he was the next rightful king because he was a relative. At the battle of Hastings, it was the major turning point and William became king.
"Rufus" means "red". He had red hair and maybe a reddish face.
