William the Conqueror
William’s descendants battled fiercely for control of both the throne of England and the coveted Duchy of Normandy. Although one of William’s sons became king after his death in 1087, there would not be another son directly inheriting the English throne from his father for the next 102 years.
Richard the Lionheart
Inheriting the throne following bitter struggles with his father, Henry II, this larger than life king remains one of England’s most famous monarchs, even though he spent little time in England during his ten year reign. Centuries later, his absentee rule and his struggles with a scheming younger brother would become linked to the legend of Robin Hood and his merry men.
