William Adelin


 

William Adelin (1103November 25, 1120) was the only legitimate son of Henry I of England and his wife Maud of Scotland. His maternal grandparents were Malcolm III of Scotland and Saint Margaret of Scotland. The second part of William's name is variously referred to as Audelin, Atheling, or Aetheling. In any case it is derived from the Old English Ętheling, meaning "son of the king".
