William I In 1035, Robert I (the Generous), Duke of Normandy, died on his way back from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Since he had no legitimate children, his only illegitimate son, William, was made Duke of Normandy. The first Norman king of England. Born in 1028, he inherited his father's dukedom at the age of 8.

Recent court records of his birth indicate that William may have suffered from a brain disease that resulted in brain damage. His health problems may have contributed to his developing an ambitious, impulsive and reckless personality, as well as an arrogant attitude towards problems or other people. Whether this virtue influenced his personal and political life, historians have not yet concluded. If this argument is true, then William's character must have caused his governance shortcomings, such as the incident of ousting Bismarck. His mother was cold towards her son. Feeling guilty about her son's shortcomings, the mother tried to force her son to exercise more in an attempt to cure the shortcomings. Therefore, William's relationship with his mother was not very good.

She insisted on calling her sons only by their English names: William was called "Wilhelm" in German, but she called him "William"; her second son's name was "Heinrich", so he was called "Henry". The future Emperor William had mixed feelings about Britain and the British since he was a child, which may have affected his later attitude towards Britain. 9.
