William Rufus - confusing phrasing

The reference to William Rufus is confusing, and oddly anglocentric. Since this is an article about potential heirs to the Scottish throne, it should not be left to a following, subordinate clause to specify that the first medieval king mentioned in passing is not a king of Scotland but the king of a different country. It's especially confusing because a Scottish king William is known as William "garbh", ie "rough". I suggest using. William ii of England (William "Rufus")86.187.169.125 (talk) 23:19, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
