HENRY I

Henry I (Henry the Fowler) was King of Germany and founder of the Saxon Dynasty. He was born in 876 and died in 936.

Henry I was king of France from 1031 to 1060. He was born in 1005 and died in 1060.

Henry I was a son of William The Conqueror and King of England from 1101 to 1135. He was born in 1068 at Selby and died in 1135. His charter of liberties, his recall of Anselm, and his arrest of Flambard testified to his prudence and sagacity. Robert of Belesme persuaded Robert, Henry's elder brother, to assert his claims to the English throne. After suffering an overwhelming defeat at Tinchebrai in 1106, Robert was imprisoned in Cardiff Castle, and Normandy was united to England.
