That was William III, Iain, not William II. The latter — “William Rufus,” from his rosy complexion — would likely have favored the introduction of Sharia. He was at odds with the Church, was probably an atheist, and was accused by the monkish scribes of “oriental practices” (don’t ask) and “favoring the Jews” (oh my God!)

Rufus never got round to bringing in Sharia. John Lackland, however, gave it a really serious try.
