William II earned the nickname Rufus either because of his red hair or
his propensity for anger. William Rufus never married and had no offspring.
The manner in which William the Conqueror divided his possessions caused
turmoil among his sons
His eldest son Robert received the duchy of Normandy, William Rufus
acquired England, and his youngest son Henry inherited 5000 pounds of
silver. The contention between the brothers may have exerted an influence on
the poor light in which William Rufus was historically portrayed.
