Rufus was born in 1099 to Aelred, Earl of Shrewsbury and Countess Judith de Lens. He was the eldest of three sons and became Earl of Chester upon his father's death in 1125. King Stephen had promised Rufus the crown if he married the Empress Matilda. Rufus did not marry her and Stephen seized Chester Castle; however, Rufus's older brother, Henry de Lacy, took over and defended it. The king was unable to take Chester and agreed to hand it over to Rufus. Rufus gave up the castle and became a monk at the Cluny Abbey in France where he joined the Knights Templar; later, he became a hermit and finally returned to England in 1135.
Rufus was a devout Christian and at age 22 was elected Pope in 1143, receiving the papal name of Eugenius III.
William II, the third son of William the Conqueror, was King of England from 26 September 1087 until his death in 1100, with powers over Normandy, and influence in Scotland. He was less successful in extending control into Wales. William is commonly referred to as William Rufus, perhaps because of his ruddy appearance or, more likely, due to having red hair as a child that grew out in later life. William was a figure of complex temperament, capable of both bellicosity and flamboyance. He did not marry nor have children, which—along with contemporary accounts—has led historians to speculate on homosexuality or bisexuality. He died after being hit by an arrow while hunting, under circumstances that remain unclear. Circumstantial evidence in the behaviour of those around him raises strong, but unproven, suspicions of murder. His younger brother Henry I hurriedly succeeded him as king.
