“While hunting in the New Forest, William II Rufus (r. 1087–1100) was killed by a crossbow bolt; an assassin’s blow conferring an association of perfidy to the weapon. His son Henry I (r. 1100–35) narrowly escaped a bolt shot by his illegitimate daughter Juliana in her failed attempt at both patricide and regicide.”
