byname HENRY BEAUCLERC (Good Scholar), French HENRI BEAUCLERC.
Youngest and ablest of William I the Conqueror's sons, who as king of
England (1100-35) strengthened the crown's executive powers and, like
his father, also ruled Normandy (from 1106).
Reign.
Henry was crowned at Westminster, on Aug. 5, 1100, three days after
his brother, King William II, William the Conqueror's second son, had
been killed in a hunting accident. Duke Robert Curthose, the eldest of
the three brothers, who by feudal custom had succeeded to his father's
inheritance, Normandy, was returning from the First Crusade and could
not assert his own claim to the English throne until the following
year. The succession was precarious, however, because a number of
wealthy Anglo-Norman barons supported Duke Robert, and Henry moved
quickly to gain all the backing he could. He issued an ingenious
Charter of Liberties, which purported to end capricious taxes,
confiscations of church revenues, and other abuses of his predecessor.
By his marriage with Matilda, a Scottish princess of the old
Anglo-Saxon royal line, he established the foundations for peaceable
relations with the Scots and support from the English. And he recalled
St. Anselm, the scholarly archbishop of Canterbury whom his brother,
William II, had banished.
When Robert Curthose finally invaded England in 1101, several of the
greatest barons defected to him. But Henry, supported by a number of
his barons, most of the Anglo-Saxons, and St. Anselm, worked out an
amicable settlement with the invaders. Robert relinquished his claim
to England, receiving in return Henry's own territories in Normandy
and a large annuity.
Although a crusading hero, Robert was a self-indulgent, vacillating
ruler who allowed Normandy to slip into chaos. Norman churchmen who
fled to England urged Henry to conquer and pacify the duchy and thus
provided moral grounds for Henry's ambition to reunify his father's
realm at his brother's expense. Paving his way with bribes to Norman
barons and agreements with neighbouring princes, in 1106 Henry routed
Robert's army at Tinchebrai in southwestern Normandy and captured
Robert, holding him prisoner for life. (see also Index: Tinchebrai,
Battle of)
Between 1104 and 1106 Henry had been in the uncomfortable position of
posing, in Normandy, as a champion of the church while fighting with
his own archbishop of Canterbury. St. Anselm had returned from exile
in 1100 dedicated to reforms of Pope Paschal II, which were designed
to make the church independent of secular sovereigns. Following papal
bans against lay lords investing churchmen with their lands and
against churchmen rendering homage to laymen, Anselm refused to
consecrate bishops whom Henry had invested and declined to do homage
to Henry himself. Henry regarded bishoprics and abbeys not only as
spiritual offices but as great sources of wealth. Since in many cases
they owed the crown military services, he was anxious to maintain the
feudal bond between the bishops and the crown. (see also Index:
Investiture Controversy)
Ultimately, the issues of ecclesiastical homage and lay investiture
forced Anselm into a second exile. After numerous letters and threats
between king, pope, and archbishop, a compromise was concluded shortly
before the Battle of Tinchebrai and was ratified in London in 1107.
Henry relinquished his right to invest churchmen while Anselm
submitted on the question of homage. With the London settlement and
the English victory at Tinchebrai, the Anglo-Norman state was
reunified and at peace.
In the years following, Henry married his daughter Matilda (also
called Maud) to Emperor Henry V of Germany and groomed his only
legitimate son, William, as his successor. Henry's right to Normandy
was challenged by William Clito, son of the captive Robert Curthose,
and Henry was obliged to repel two major assaults against eastern
Normandy by William Clito's supporters: Louis VI of France, Count Fulk
of Anjou, and the restless Norman barons who detested Henry's
ubiquitous officials and high taxes. By 1120, however, the barons had
submitted, Henry's son had married into the Angevin house, and Louis
VI--defeated in battle--had concluded a definitive peace.
The settlement was shattered in November 1120, when Henry's son
perished in a shipwreck of the "White Ship," destroying Henry's
succession plans. After Queen Matilda's death in 1118, he married
Adelaide of Louvain in 1121, but this union proved childless. On
Emperor Henry V's death in 1125, Henry summoned the empress Matilda
back to England and made his barons do homage to her as his heir. In
1128 Matilda married Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to the county of
Anjou, and in 1133 she bore him her first son, the future king Henry
II. When Henry I died at Lyons-la-Forãet in eastern Normandy, his
favourite nephew, Stephen of Blois, disregarding Matilda's right of
succession, seized the English throne. Matilda's subsequent invasion
of England unleashed a bitter civil war that ended with King Stephen's
death and Henry II's unopposed accession in 1154.
Assessment
Henry I was a skillful, intelligent monarch who achieved peace in
England, relative stability in Normandy, and notable administrative
advances on both sides of the Channel. Under Henry, the Anglo-Norman
state his father had created was reunited. Royal justices began making
systematic tours of the English shires, but, although his
administrative policies were highly efficient, they were not
infrequently regarded as oppressive. His reign marked a significant
advance from the informal, personal monarchy of former times toward
the bureaucratized state that lay in the future. It also marked a
shift from the wide-ranging imperialism of earlier Norman leaders to
consolidation and internal development. In the generations before
Henry's accession, Norman dukes, magnates, and adventurers had
conquered southern Italy, Sicily, Antioch, and England. Henry won his
major battles but preferred diplomacy or bribery to the risks of the
battlefield. Subduing Normandy in 1106, he contented himself with
keeping domestic peace, defending his Anglo-Norman state against
rebellion and invasion, and making alliances with neighbouring
princes.
