Henry I (c. 1068 \endash 1 December 1135), also known as Henry Beauclerc, was King of England from 1100 to his death in 1135. He was the fourth son of William the Conqueror and was educated in Latin and the liberal arts. On William's death in 1087, Henry's elder brothers Robert Curthose and William Rufus inherited Normandy and England, respectively, but Henry was left landless. He purchased the County of Cotentin in western Normandy from Robert, but his brothers deposed him in 1091. He gradually rebuilt his power base in the Cotentin and allied himself with William against Robert.


Henry had a relationship with Lady Sybilla CORBET d'Alcester, daughter of Sir Robert CORBET Kt., Sieur d'Alcester and Adéle D'ALCESTER. (Lady Sybilla CORBET d'Alcester was born in 1075 and died in 1157 in Blaen Llyfni, Brecknockshire, Wales.)


Henry had a relationship with Nest FERCH RHYS , Princess of Wales, daughter of Rhys AP TEWDWR , King of Deheubarth, Wales and Gwladys FERCH RHIWALLON AP CYNFYN of Powys. (Nest FERCH RHYS , Princess of Wales was born about 1085 in Wales and died after 1136.)


Henry next married Matilda OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III OF SCOTLAND , King of Scots and Marguerite DE WESSEX , Saint Margaret of Scotland, in 1100. (Matilda OF SCOTLAND was born in 1080 in dunfermline, Fife, Scotland and died on 1 May 1118 in Westminster Palace.)
