    There's a pretty good reason that strategy games won't have your soldiers randomly decide to betray you when you're in a pitched battle; it would be pretty frickin' awful gameplay. But imagine if a game did that. Imagine playing Total War, and at the moment of crisis during an engagement, all of the troops you were keeping in reserve to guard the flanks just up and leave. The feeling of betrayal and shock would be akin to what Robert surely felt that day when other Robert turned back and left. I don't even think Crusader Kings lets you do that, and that sounds like the kind of game where it would be encouraged.

    He probably did but I think a more accurate way to go about that topic is the fact he was put on suicide watch before trying to kill himself the first time and it still happened. Suspecting foul play in something shady enough doesn't cross me as doddering insanity. Seems to be that he was probably naming names if so, we DO live in the age where everything that was tinfoil 10 years ago is now on the table for discussion by everyone, an age wher Epstein Island on google satellite maps has a tennis court slapped on with some wonky photoshop skills, but on Bing maps is a worn down, square structure that looks like an aging missile silo. People that don't want to hear anything or like to argue for argument sake really should shove off. I think the biggest problem about politics is people take it at face value when you can be a much more neckbeardy type that levitates above all else by simply attributing it to all 1,000s of years of recorded history. I mean if you really try to take history from as far back as you study today, it becomes much less difficult in my opinion.

    Robert became a warrior and not an army commander the minute he became locally engaged. He was unable to see the flank attack develop because he was too close to the action. If he'd been with the reserves and allowing his local commanders to handle the situation on the front line, he'd have been able to see the threat and thwart it before it fully developed. Plus, his subordinate would have been heartened by having his counterattack ordered while it had a chance for sweeping success and not so late as to be a suicide charge and unable to turn the tide. Situational awareness on the battlefield is of the utmost importance to an army commander.

    He had really bad luck. At first, his younger brother betrayed him and just took his throne while he was in the middle east. Then he actually agreed to give the throne away and make a peace treaty, but was betrayed by his brother once again, who invaded his Duchy with no provocation. And finally, when he actually went into battle, more then half of his army just turned away for no real reason. He was really f*cked by history :(

    On the other hand, he also outlawed slavery on English soil. Now, you might not think that Feudalism was much better, but at least men DID get paid, no matter how little. Probably this was more to benefit himself for some reason, but as slavery was the natural state of the World since before recorded History, this was a VERY unique Law. This is probably one reason why Britain was the FIRST Country EVER to outlaw slavery as a natural way of being. ANY slave which put foot on British soil was instantly declared free.

    Clearly, Robert (William) dies hunting. His youngest brother Renly (Henry), who is present there, ceases power in the stormlands (England), while the other brother is on Dragonstone (on crusade). Hack even the names are similar Both stories feature a Robert, and Renly resembles Henry.

    Robert Curthose was imprisoned by his brother Henry for the last twenty eight years of his life. For the last eight of those he was held in the old wooden Keep of Cardiff Castle where he died in 1134 at the age of around eighty three which was a phenomonal age for that period in history. His tomb is in Gloucester Cathedral.

    What is missing is the English (Anglo-Saxon) dimension. To the Norman barons, the sons of William I were essentially equal in their legitimacy, and barons changed their allegiance for their own advantage. The native English, however, had a heightened sense of the sanctity of an anointed king. Both William Rufus and Henry used the military abilities of the English ferd (formerly fyrd) to bolster their ranks with English troops, of the thegnly and wealthy farmer classes, who owed military service in the ferd. It has been claimed that Henry dismounted most of his cavalry at Tinchebray because of the English tradition of fighting on foot. English styles had deeply affected the Anglo-Normans, who in Henry's generation grew beards and wore their hair longer in the pre-conquest English manner.

    Evolution is a lie. There is abundant evidence that debunks the theory of evolution. First of all, there are zero true transitional species. Every single living thing can be classified as a eukaryote or a prokaryote, a fish or an amphibian, and so on. If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between two kinds of living things. If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, between fish and amphibians, and so on. But there are none. See, in order to be a true transitional species, a species must contain organisms from two different kinds of living things. There is no other possible way to bridge the evolutionary gap between the different kinds of living things. For example, a transitional species between fish and amphibians must contain some organisms which are scientifically classified as fish and some organisms which are scientifically classified as amphibians. But there are no species like this. The fact is that there are zero true transitional species. Secondly, there are zero transitional organs. If evolution was true, then there must be organs that are a transition between two different organs. For example, according to the theory of evolution, lungs evolved from swim bladders. So there should be an organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung. But there is no organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung. These are just some of the many evidences that prove that the theory of evolution is a fairy tale.
