Re: William the Red
I have not seen William Rufus/11 or as he is known in France Guillaume Le Roux discussed in this kind of debate before and certainly there is much knowledge here that I find useful for example the coinciding dates concerning William the Conqueror's Oath of Salisbury and William 11's assassination with the connection to Lammas or the "mass of the loaf".His sexuality is controversial and I see him more bisexual (like the greatest soldier in earth's history Alexander the Great)than gay.His rule was like the swing of a pendulum and had a desperation to achieve that his successors lacked (par excellence in the case of Henri Beauclerc)which made his relatively brief time in power conflict driven to excess.There is I believe a saying "nothing succeeds like excess".This monarch's life was probably flesh and blood proof of it.
