EDITORS COMMENTS
William II, also known as William Rufus or William the Red, was the eldest son of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. Born in 1056, he became King of England in 1087 upon his father's death. William's reign, which lasted until 1100, was marked by significant events that shaped the history of England. This striking image captures the regal presence of King William II. The monarch is depicted in his royal robes, wearing a crown adorned with precious stones, and holding a scepter in one hand and a globe in the other. The background is simple, with a plain gold backdrop, allowing the focus to be on the king himself. During William's reign, he faced numerous challenges, both from within and outside his kingdom. He dealt with rebellions, including the Revolt of the Earls, and conflicts with Scotland and Wales. William was also known for his hunting prowess and is said to have died under mysterious circumstances while on a hunting trip in the New Forest in 1100. Despite the challenges, William II left a lasting impact on England. He continued his father's work on the Doomsday Book, a comprehensive survey of the realm, and made significant improvements to the legal system. He was also a patron of the arts and supported the construction of Westminster Abbey. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when kings ruled with authority and majesty. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of England and the fascinating figures who have shaped its story.
