Robert Curthose
Do you remember when I last wrote about William the Conqueror? Today I will tell about his son - Robert.
Robert Curthose was the Duke of Normandy (he spent almost all of the money in treasury!) from 1087 until 1106 and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of England. He was skillful in military exercises, but he was lazy too. He was a participant in the First Crusade.
He was born around 1054 and he died on 3rd February 1134. Robert was the eldest son of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. Robert's birthdate is usually given as 1054, but it may have been 1051.
As a child, he was betrothed to Margaret, the heiress of Maine, but she died before they could be wed, and Robert didn't marry until he became 40.
Some day Robert made a revolution against his father, but Matilda of Flanders reconciled them. When William the Conqueror died, Robert and his brother, Henry, were fighting each other, but Robert was defeated and he died in prison. Henry took the throne of England and became the king. Happy End -.-
