You should read up on William I's sons particularly his youngest son Henry.
The amount of feuding and fighting is absurd. Norman royalty seems to fall victim to hunting accidents at a suspicious rate. At the end of it you have Henry on top as both King of England and Duke of Normandy. Then his only son dies in a disaster at sea triggering a succession crisis which eventually becomes a period of civil war known as the Anarchy.
