One abbot chronicler desc
One abbot chronicler described "Fountains flowing with blood" and "infinite calamities to the maritime places" as features of this man's reign. A prime donor to Bermondsey Abbey, he held the Curia Regis thrice-annualy, which his former general Robert of Mowbray decided once to boycott as a prelude to a rebellion against him. Served by Ranulph Flambard and known for two unsuccessful invasions of Wales, he reached a concordat with Urban II after holding the council at Rockingham, which failed to reign in his nemesis Saint Anselm. This man defeated Odo of Bayeaux, the leader of rebels loyal to this man's brother Robert Curthose. While hunting with Walter Tirel in the New Forest, this man was killed by an arrow that pierced his lung. For 10 points, name this unpopular Norman king, the successor to his father William the Conqueror.
