- Robert Il Duke of Normandy had a complicated relationship with his father, William the Conqueror, and his brothers. William the Conqueor was Duke of Normandy before he conquered England and became king. When he died he split his lands and titles giving the Dukedom to Robert and the throne of England to his second son William Rufus. William Rufus and Robert made a pact, after extensive squabbling and a rebellion, that if either of them died without and heir that they would unite Normandy and England again- it it would go to whoever had survived.
So Robert thought he would become king when William Rufus died in a hunting accident, but his youngest brother Henry I took the throne while Robert was away on a Crusade. Henry not only took the throne of England but also took Normandy as well and imprisoned Robert for twenty years. Robert died when he was 83 and was buried Gloucester Cathedral.

Great video! I've always felt sorry for Robert. Definitely one of history's losers. Henry I did some pretty awful things, so perhaps we'd have been better off with a King Robert I. But then Henry I's reign eventually, in a roundabout way, gave us Henry II's reign, who was one of the best medieval kings we ever had.
Thanks Evelyn. It seems like Robert Curthose was either extremely healthy or took good care of himself for others took good care of him since he lived to be 83.
Amazing that he lives in to his 80s right?! There were people who did have robust health! And maybe being out of the battlefield and less stress helped 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I love his effigy! “I’m just chillin’ bruh!”
😂😂😉
Can’t we all just get along? Talk about dysfunctional 😂 👑🏰🏰❤️
Poor Robert. He really got sh*t on.
I live in the town over from the cathedral. I never tire of it's majesty and beauty ⚜️ the cloisters are truly a masterpiece
I don't which I love more, the history lesson or the Cathedral
😁😁😁😉
Stunning architecture.
Hmm that makes one feel somewhat better about one’s family disputes
😂😂 family squabbles have always existed. 💚
Thank you for another great video ❤
Thank you for always being so supportive friend!
Thanks for the interesting work
💚💚🙏🏻 so glad you enjoyed!!
You have to remember that these people were just French speaking Vikings.
I wonder what Starkey would make of it. Will the Conk abolished the Witan power to declare who would be king, instigating the regular inheritance rules as per for “other ranks of nobility”. Only for Will to leave his second son as king. Did Will see the Dukedom of Normandy as being more important than being king of England?
This is a great question! The Dukedom of Normandy was considered incredibly valuable!!! Absolutely! More important 🤔 hmmm… but at his death it has been said that he wanted to disinherit Robert completely and he was talked in to splitting up the crown of England and the Dukedom between his two sons.
I remember hearing that the Normans had a way of inheritance wherein the eldest male got whatever the father had himself inherited (in this case Normandy) and whatever the father had gained in his life (such as England and any other land areas) he could distribute in his will as he liked.
@@anttibjorklund1869 that is mostly true. In William’s case he was in uncharted territory and really could do whatever he wanted because he conquered England and could set his own precedent. And he really had to be talked in to Robert inheriting anything because he was allied with William’s enemy at the battle he fought at right before he died.
I'd love to hear more about William Rufus (William II.).
And the brother Henry (I) was Empress Mathilda's father, wasn't he?
Only one generation of kings between the conquest and the Anarchy?
Yes, Henry I was Matilda’s father. After Henry I was Stephen of Blois then it was Matilda’s son, Henry II.
Lots of videos coming up about Matilda.
@@EvelynEdwards I'd love this. ❤️
Which cathedral?
@@Incognito-turnip the name of the location in each video is always on the thumbnail, in the title, in the description, the first image of every video and the last image of every video.
“For the good of his soul”. So it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than do the right thing?😂
I mean 🤷🏼♀️😉
Wait, for the good of the brother’s soul or Henry’s soul? 🫤
That was ironic . Evil brother Henry
Did Robert marry and have children?
He did and had one child who died at 25.
So william the conquerer stole the thrown and made himself king so I was wondering if the thrown was ever returned to whom he stole it from? Not sure if my question makes sense
Ahhhh! No. The last Anglo Saxon king Harold died at the battle of Hastings.
Thank you so much!
@@EvelynEdwardsour true king of England Harold godwines sunu would of butchered William the bastard if William face him one on one but no William the bastard wæs a coward and kill our king with a arrow to the eye then William started destroying our history heritage language and destroying where our true kings wæs buried but the one thing William couldn’t change wæs our Anglo Saxon English blood and plus the big change wæs that yes he became a king of England but I can tell you we pure blooded English don’t see or consider him as one of our kings far from it and people wonder why we English hate and went to war and conquered France countless time well blame William the bastard because that why we English hate and why we cart see eye to eye with them bloody French and nobody no English history better then us English and that is a fact
