50/365 Rufus Stone !!

50/365  Rufus Stone !! Deep in the New Forest stands a monument to King “Rufus” William 2nd killed on 2nd August 1100 ad in a “hunting accident”, the stone marks the spot where an oak tree stood that was meant to have deflected an arrow into King Rufus killing him. There is some debate about it being an accident or even if this is the spot http://www.new-forest-national-park.com/rufus-stone.html (mono #08/52)
