On
August 02, 1100 about sunset, a group of men were finishing a stag hunt. On any
other day in medieval England, a party of nobles searching for a deer probably
wouldn’t have turned any heads but in this case the group included William Rufus,
also known as King William II. Along with William was his brother Henry, Walter
Tirel, the Count of Poix, and William de Breteuil. At the end of the hunt, one of the men would be lying on the forest floor, dead, with an arrow impaled in his chest.
