FAQ About Robert Curthose
Did Robert Curthose ever become King of England?
No, Robert Curthose never became King of England. Although he was the eldest son of William the Conqueror, his younger brother, William II Rufus, succeeded their father as the King of England. Later, another younger brother, Henry I, took the throne, bypassing Robert once again, partly due to Robert's long absences on crusades and his perceived lack of interest in governance.
