What King was nicknamed Rufus?

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.


When William died who was the throne passed over to?

When William the Conqueror died in 1087, the throne was passed to his eldest son, Robert Curthose, who became Duke of Normandy. However, William's other son, William Rufus, was crowned King of England shortly after William the Conqueror's death. This division of territories and titles led to conflict between Robert and William Rufus over their inheritance.
