454. HENRY I29 KING OF ENGLAND 1100-1135 (William, #460) 6041, 6042, 6043 was born in 1069 at Selby, Yorkshire, England. 6044, 6045 He married Matilda (see #455), daughter of Malcolm III Canmore King of Scotland 1058-1093 and St. Margaret. 6046 He died on 1 Dec 1135 at Lyons-la-Forêt, Normandy, France. 6047, 6048 His nick name was Henri Beauclerc. 6049 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 occasionally 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 in 1100. 6050 Children of Henry I29 King of England 1100-1135 and Matilda (see #455) were:     450.  i.   MATILDA28. 455.
