William I "the Conquerer" King of ENGLAND, DUKE OF NORMANDY THE GREAT

                   William II (1056-1100) called Rufus from his ruddy complexion. King of Eng-
land, 3rd son of Wm. the Conquerer & Matilda of Flanders, was born between
1056-1060. On his deathbed William I nominated his favorite son, William, to
Archbishop Lanfranc as his successor to the English Throne.  William was
crowned king on Sep. 26, 1087. This separation of Eng. from Normandy imposed
a divided allegiance on the barons, most of whom had land on both sides of the
channel. At Easter the following year a rebellion broke out led by Earl of
Kent. Wm. next turned his attention to recovery of Normandy, in 1091 invading
his elder brother's land and soon forcing him to sue for peace.  The two
brothers then turned against Henry, the youngest surviving son of the Conquerer.
who had purchased the Cotentin Penninsula from his brother Robert. The follow-
ing year he left Normandy & marched north against Malcolm III of Scotland, who
had invaded England.He later seized Carlisle, & Westmorland. In 1094 he invaded
Normandy but received only Maine.  At home there was a quarrel with the church.
On death of Lanfranc in 1089 he appointed Ranulf Flambard Treasurer, who was
highly skilled in raising money.  William was accidentally killed perhaps by
Walter Tirel, while hunting in the New Forest on August 2, 1100.

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.
