William Rufus - confusing phrasing

[edit]

The reference to William Rufus is confusing, and oddly anglocentric. Since this is an article about potential heirs to the Scottish throne, it should not be left to a following, subordinate clause to specify that the first medieval king mentioned in passing is not a king of Scotland but the king of a different country. It's especially confusing because a Scottish king William is known as William "garbh", ie "rough". I suggest using.

Ancestry

Hello I have an idea to add his ancestry by using these sources:
