Henry I (1068-1135), King of England, youngest son of William the Conqueror,
was born at Selby, Yorkshire. His education was considered so excellent that
he was nicknamed Beauclerc.  He received L, 5,000 at his father's death, but
no lands, and was kept in a position of inferiority by his elder brothers,
Robert of Normandy & Wm. Rufus of England. On the latter's death, in 1100,
Robert being absent, Henry seized the Royal treasury, and the nobles chose him
as King.  He at once issued a charter of liberties of great improtantce,
conciliating his English subjects in order to gain thier support in his
struggles with Norman nobles, whose powere he steadily opposed. This charter
served as basis for Manga Carta.  In 1106 he defeated Robert in France,
captured and imprisioned and took possession of Normandy. Robert reained in
prizon until he died in 1134. In England, Henry ruled well, though sternly;
it was characteristic of his love of money that the Royal Eschequer was organ-
ized.  In 1100 he married the Anglo Scottish Princess Edith, renamed Matilda,
but he had many mistresses & illegitimate children. Matilda died in 1118, &
3 yrs. later he married Adelaide. He died near Gisor, France, Dec. 1, 1135.
