Other Events:

• AFN: 8XJ0-6V

Notes:

Henry I "Beauclerc" King Of England succeeded his brother, William II, in 1100.
Henry helped unite the Saxons and Normans in England. To gain the favor of his
Saxon subjects, he married Matilda, daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and his
Saxon wife Margaret.

During his reign, Henry worked to restrain the growing power of the barons. He
promoted the Norman system of centralized rule and gave the royal courts greater
authority. His wars against rebellious nobles in France helped start a feeling
of English nationalism.

Notes:

William I "The Conqueror" King Of England, Duke of Normandy was the first
Norman king of England. He inherited Normandy at the age of eight. During his
youth, there were many disorders. At the age of 20, he put down a great
rebellion at the battle of Val-es-dunes, which he won with the aid of his lord,
King Henry of France. From that time on, William ruled Normandy with an iron
hand.

In 1051, William visited England. King Edward the Confessor granted him the
succession to the English throne as his nearset adult heir. In 1064, Harold,
Edward's brother-in-law, was shipwrecked on the Norman coast and was taken
prisoner. He promised to support William's claim to the throne in return for
his freedom. But when Edward died in 1066, Harold obtained the succession on
the basis of a deathbed grant by Edward and election by the nobles and prelates
of England.

William immediately invaded England. His expedition had the pope's blessings,
because William was expected to depose the Anglo-Saxon archbishop of Canterbury
and introduce ecclesiastical reforms. Before William could sail, the king of
Norway invaded northern England. King Harold hurried north and defeated the
Norwegian invaders at Stamford Bridge. William landed before Harold could
return to defend the coast. The Normans destroyed the Anglo-Saxon army and
killed Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

On Christmas Day, 1066, William was crowned king William then suppressed local
rebellions. He took lands from those who resisted him, and gave them to his
followers to hold in return for their military service to him. To emphasize
the legitimacy of his crown, William confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor
and retained all the powers of the Anglo-Saxon monarchy. He levied Danegeld,
the only national tax on landed property in all of Europe at that time. At
Salisbury in 1086, he made all the landholders, even the vassals of his barons,
swear allegiance directly to him as king.

William was devout, firm in purpose, and unchanging in gaining his ends. His
greatest monument is Domesday Book, an exhaustive survey of the land, the
principal landholders, the farm population, and the material and financial
resources of his realm.

Buried in Abbey of St Stephen, Caen, Calvados, France
