The Life and Times of Henry I – son of William the Conqueror
Henry I was King of England 1100 to 1135, the youngest son of William the Conqueror. He was the first ’Norman’ member of the ducal family to be born in England, and indeed he was raised here, until he reached adulthood, being knighted by his father at Westminster on 24 May 1086. Henry was, therefore, unusual amongst English kings: no future king of England would be raised in the country until Henry III (born in 1207). In this lecture, Stephen Church will explore some of the key events of Henry’s time as king of England.
