William II of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2526 words)
William Rufus inherited the Anglo-Norman settlement whose details are reflected in Domesday Book (1086), a survey that could not have been undertaken anywhere in Europe at that time and a signal of the control of the monarchy; but he did not inherit William's charisma nor political skills.
William was able to claim the revenues of the archbishopric of Canterbury as long as Anselm remained in exile, and Anselm remained in exile until the reign of William's successor, Henry I.
William's body was abandoned by the nobles at the place where he fell, because the law and order of the kingdom died with the king, and they had to flee to their English or Norman estates to secure their interests.
William II, German Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (7188 words)
William II, in German Wilhelm II (born Frederick William Albert Victor [Friedrich Wilhelm Albert Viktor]) (27 January 1859–4 June 1941), was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia (German: Wilhelm II., Deutscher Kaiser und König von Preußen), ruling both the German Empire and Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November 1918.
William was educated at Kassel at the Friedrichsgymnasium and the University of Bonn.
William also took a certain interest in the science and technology of the age, but though he liked to pose, in conversation, as a man of the world, he remained convinced that he belonged to a distinct order of mankind, designated for monarchy by the grace of God.
