EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the likeness of William II, known as Rufus (the Red), who reigned as King of England from 1087. The second surviving son of William I, he was a controversial figure in history - described as cruel and rapacious, making him an unpopular monarch during his time.
The deep red hues in this portrait emphasize his nickname "Rufus," highlighting his fiery and bold personality. His piercing gaze seems to reflect the power and authority he held as king, despite facing opposition from his subjects.
William II met a tragic end when he was killed by an arrow at Brokenhurst in the New Forest. This event marked the untimely demise of a ruler whose reign was marred by conflict and discontent among his people.
As we gaze upon this historical depiction, we are reminded of the complexities of leadership and the legacy left behind by figures such as William II. His image serves as a window into a tumultuous period in English history, where power struggles and political intrigue were commonplace.
This engraving is not just a representation of William II's physical appearance but also a reflection of the turbulent times in which he lived. It stands as a testament to the enduring impact that rulers can have on their kingdoms, for better or for worse.
