Me: I don’t like this show. It’s pissing me off, Robert

Robert Curthose: yeah well in your story I’m trans and a bastard so stop complaining

Me: I happen to enjoy exploring queerness in historical contexts. Plus I like to think I do alt history tastefully ☺️

STORY CONTEXT

After succumbing to his wounds sustained from the Battle of Mantes, William of Normandy finds himself in the purgatory recreation of Falaise Castle along with remnants of his family. Having not seen Robert Curthose come out of his sleeping chamber for centuries, William attempts to get through to his son with a letter. However, William fails to find the right words to say, and gives up on any chances for reconciliation.

Robert Curthose (c. 1051-1134), William the Conqueror's son. Robert took over his father's role as the Duke of Normandy, but never was the king of England. He actually died at one my favorite castles, Cardiff Castle in Wales. This tomb is just fantastic.

Gloucester Cathedral, England

Robert wounding his father William the Conqueror during a battle. By James William Edmund Doyle.

William's elder son Robert, enraged by a prank of his brothers William and Henry, who had doused him with filthy water, undertook what became a large scale rebellion against his father's rule. Only with King Philip's additional military support was William able to confront Robert, who was then based in Flanders. During the battle of 1079, William was unhorsed and wounded by Robert, who lowered his sword only after recognising him.

"Bro it's just a prank!"

The prank:

#mfw my brothers dumping poopoo and peepee on my head causes me to be out of the country #leading to my younger brother becoming king and completely reshaping european history for the next millennium #i mean it's possible robert would've done something else to have to leave england and henry would've become king anyway #but i just think it's wild that we live in the timeline where two younger siblings dumping poop on their brother's head is a canon event #that literally reshaped the entire history of the western world as a butterfly effect #medieval history #medieval england #william the conqueror #history #did you know #fun facts #robert curthose #henry i #english history #it's just a prank #the prank
