William de Breteuil defends the treasury, Winchester, Hampshire, 1100 (1864). Artist

William de Breteuil defends the treasury, Winchester, Hampshire, 1100 (1864). William was the eldest son of William Fitzosbern, first Earl of Hereford. He is seen defending William the Conquerors treasury from Henry Beauclerc, the former Kings youngest son. Henry (1068-1135) claimed the crown on the death of his brother William II, who died without issue in 1100. Robert, Duke of Normandy, William Is eldest son, who he had passed over as his heir to the English throne in favour of William II, was away on the First Crusade. Henry, seen drawing his sword, persuaded William to give way and was named King Henry I of England the following day. After Roberts return he unsuccessfully pursued his claim to be king, losing his Duchy of Normandy in the process, and eventually died in prison in Cardiff Castle in 1134
