| | Ranulf was a household chaplain of William Rufus with big ambitions. He became an important advisor to William, organising tax collections and military matters. He took control of the country when William was away. Ranulf became the Bishop of Durham in 1099 but took advantage of his position. When Henry I came to the throne he arrested Flambard to signal to the English people that he would put an end to Rufus' old ways. Flambard was sent to the Tower of London but managed to escape and flee to Normandy. In Normandy Flambard sided with Robert of Normandy against Henry I and organised a invasion plan. The plan failed but luckily for Flambard Henry accepted him back as Bishop of Durham possibly recognising the man's organisational abilities. | See AlsoMini Timeline
