Only son and heir-apparent of Henry I of England and his first wife, Matilda. William received the homage of the Norman barons in 1115 and of the English in 1116, confirming him as Henry I's heir. In 1120, as future duke of Normandy, he did homage to Louis VI of France. On his return voyage to England his ship was wrecked off Barfleur in France and he was drowned, leaving Henry I's daughter, Empress Matilda, as the sole legitimate heir to the throne of England.
