Henry I, also known as Henry Beauclerc, was a significant figure in English history. Born in 1068, he ascended to the throne in 1100 and ruled until his death in 1135. Despite being overshadowed by his famous father William the Conqueror and brother William II, Henry I left an indelible mark on England. One of the most notable aspects of Henry's reign was his marriage to Anne of Kiev. A statue dedicated to her can be found at the Royal Abbey of St. Vincent in Senlis, serving as a reminder of their union and its political significance. Henry's lineage is equally impressive; Queen Elizabeth II can trace her ancestry back to him through a long line of monarchs. The crowns displayed alongside hers symbolize the rich heritage that connects present-day royalty with their illustrious forbears. However, not all aspects of Henry's rule were peaceful or prosperous. The Catholic League played a prominent role during his time as king, causing unrest and instability throughout France from 1574 to 1589. This period is depicted vividly in a colorful lithograph showcasing Chateau de Blois - an emblematic site associated with this tumultuous era. In addition to these historical events, there are intriguing anecdotes about Henry I himself. One such story portrays him as both cunning and audacious - labeled "A Royal Burglar" for reasons lost to time but hinting at his resourcefulness and determination. Another tale tells us about "A Fatal Case of Lampreycitis, " referring humorously (and perhaps exaggeratedly) to Henry's love for lampreys – eels considered delicacies during that time which allegedly led to his demise in 1135. Furthermore, we catch glimpses into personal relationships within Henry's family circle: Juliana of Breteuil shooting at her own father showcases familial tensions that existed even among nobility during medieval times.
