Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, did not become king of England primarily due to his strained relationship with his father and subsequent conflicts over succession. After William's death in 1087, the kingdom was divided between Robert and his younger brother, William Rufus, with Robert receiving Normandy. His inability to secure the English throne was further compounded by his military failures and the support William Rufus garnered from the English nobility, ultimately leading to Robert's diminished influence and authority in England.
