Hunting accident - Killed by a stag
Richard of Normandy (c. 1054 to between 1069 and 1075) was the second son of William the Conqueror, King of England, and Matilda of Flanders.
Between 1069 and 1075, most likely 1074, Richard died in a hunting accident in the New Forest. He was buried at Winchester Cathedral. His younger brother, King William Rufus, was also killed in the New Forest.
Richard is sometimes referred to as the "Duke of Bernay", as if part of his father's continental possessions, as in Burke's Peerage; this is a mistake based on the misinterpretation of a 16th-century inscription on his tomb, which was also intended for the Earl Beorn, nephew of Cnut the Great.
