Prince William (also known as ‘the Atheling’, Anglo-Saxon for ‘son of the king’) was the only legitimate son of Henry I – the third son of William the Conqueror who had reunited his father’s empire of England and Normandy – and Edith-Matilda, who was descended from King Alfred.
William's mother usually served as the king's regent in England while he was away in Normandy, but after her death in 1118, William was old enough to serve in her stead.
He was, however, a warrior prince who, even at the age of 17, fought alongside his father during the successful campaign of 1119, which culminated in the defeat and humiliation of the French king, Louis VI ‘the Fat’, at the battle of Brémule.
