"William, Count of Eu, Lord of Hastings, 2nd but 1st surv. s. and h. He was in possession of an extensive honour in 1086. In 1088, he took a prominent part in the rebellion against William Rufus in favour of Duke Robert, invaded Gloucestershire, and destroyed the town of Berkeley. In 1093 Rufus won him over by bribes and promises, but in 1095, he participated in Moubray's plot to kill that king, and to place the Count of Aumale on the throne.....At the Council of Salisbury in Jan. 1095/96, he was charged with treason as one of the conspirators in 1095, and having been vanquished in single combat by his accuser, was condemned to be blinded and (at the instance of Earl Hugh) emasculated. Nothing further is known about him, and he must have died then or soon afterwards."3Medieval Genealogy Newsgroup.
All that the French genealogists can tell us about Count William II. beyond the names of his parents and his children is an anecdote recorded by Guibert de Nogent, who tells us that the Count was at Rouen in 1096, after the first Crusade was proclaimed, when he rescued from the fury of the mob a Jew boy, who was educated as a Christian at the expense of his rescuer and died a nionk at the Abbey of St. Germes. The Crusade decreed at the Council of Clermont in November 1095 was proclaimed at Rouen in February 1096, so that this story, which Guibert heard from the lips of the Countess herself, is irreconcilable with the statement that the Count was mutilated in prison in England in January 1096. Count William II. died before 1100, and had issue by his wife Beatrix the daughter of Roger de Busli of Domesday and sister and heir of Roger de Busli . four sons. Children of William and Beatrix are: 4 i. Henry I, Count of Eu, married Margaret de Sulli.
