Killed in 1100
also known as the "Red King" see 74-79
He was "accidently" killed (shot by an arrow) perhaps by a member of the hunting party. William the younger brother was present, and he galloped off to Winchester and seized the Royal Treasury and had himself elected king. The oldest brother Robert invaded England (from Normandy) but was bought off by a promise of a pension and aid. Four years later 1106 there was again open warfare and a small army of English footsoldiers crossed to Normandy and defeated Robert at Tinchebrai.
