(King) HENRY I⁽¹⁾ King of Navarre

(King) HENRY I (Beauclerc)⁽¹⁾ was born in Sep 1068 in Selby, Yorkshire.⁽⁴⁾ Henry I (of England) (1068-1135), third Norman king of England (1100-1135), fourth son of William the Conqueror. Henry was born in Selby. Because his father, who died in 1087, left him no land, Henry made several unsuccessful attempts to gain territories on the Continent. On the death of his brother William II in 1100, Henry took advantage of the absence of another brother-Robert, who had a prior claim to the throne-to seize the royal treasury and have himself crowned king at Westminster. Henry subsequently secured his position with the nobles and with the church by issuing a charter of liberties that acknowledged the feudal rights of the nobles and the rights of the church. In 1101 Robert, who was duke of Normandy, invaded England, but Henry persuaded him to withdraw by promising him a pension and military aid on the Continent. In 1102 Henry put down a revolt of nobles, who subsequently took refuge in Normandy, where they were aided by Robert. By defeating Robert at Tinchebray, France, in 1106, Henry won Normandy. During the rest of his reign, however, he constantly had to put down uprisings that threatened his rule in Normandy. The conflict between Henry and Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury, over the question of lay investiture (the appointment of church officials by the king), was settled in 1107 by a compromise that left the king with substantial control in the matter.
Because he had no surviving male heir, Henry was forced to designate his daughter Matilda as his heiress. After his death on December 1, 1135, at Lyons-la-Fôret, Normandy, however, Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois, usurped the throne, plunging the country into a protracted civil war that ended only with the accession of Matilda's son, Henry II, in 1154.

He died in 1135. He died on 1 Dec 1135 in St. Denis-le-Fer, near Gisors. He was buried in Reading Abbey. He has reference number 8XJ0-6V. Accession to throne: 02 August 1100 Parents: (King) WILLIAM I (The Conqueror Duke of Normandy) and Matilda De FLANDERS .

He was married to (Princess) Matilda ATHELING (Princess of Scotland) on 11 Nov 1100 in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England. Children were: (Duke) WILLIAM (Duke of Normandy) , (Princess) MATILDA (MAUD).

He was married to (Princess of Brabant) ADELICIA (Queen of England) on 24 Jan 1120/21 in Windsor, Berkshire, England.

(King) HENRY II (England)⁽¹⁾ was born on 25 Mar 1133 in Le Mans, Sartha, France.⁽⁴⁾ Henry II (of England) (1133-89), king of England (1154-89), first monarch of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet, an important administrative reformer, who was one of the most powerful European rulers of his time.
Born March 5, 1133, at Le Mans, France, Henry became duke of Normandy in 1151. The following year, on the death of his father, he inherited the Angevin territories in France. By his marriage in 1152 to Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry added vast territories in southwestern France to his possessions. Henry claimed the English kingship through his mother, Matilda. She had been designated the heiress of Henry I but had been deprived of the succession by her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who made himself king. In 1153 Henry defeated Stephen's armies in England and compelled the king to choose him as his successor; on Stephen's death, the following year, Henry became king. During the first few years of his reign Henry quelled the disorders that had developed during Stephen's reign, regained the northern counties of England, which had previously been ceded to Scotland, and conquered North Wales. In 1171-72 he began the Norman conquest of Ireland and in 1174 forced William the Lion, king of the Scots, to recognize him as overlord.
In 1164 Henry became involved in a quarrel with Thomas à Becket, whom he had appointed archbishop of Canterbury. By the Constitutions of Clarendon, the king decreed that priests accused of crimes should be tried in royal courts; Becket claimed that such cases should be handled by ecclesiastical courts, and the controversy that followed ended in 1170 with Becket's murder by four of Henry's knights. Widespread indignation over the murder forced the king to rescind his decree and recognize Becket as a martyr.
Although he failed to subject the church to his courts, Henry's judicial reforms were of lasting significance. In England he established a centralized system of justice accessible to all freemen and administered by judges who traveled around the country at regular intervals. He also began the process of replacing the old trial by ordeal with modern court procedures.
From the beginning of his reign, Henry was involved in conflict with Louis VII, king of France, and later with Louis's successor, Philip II, over the French provinces that Henry claimed. A succession of rebellions against Henry, headed by his sons and furthered by Philip II and by Eleanor of Aquitaine, began in 1173 and continued until his death at Chinon, France, on July 6, 1189. Henry was succeeded by his son Richard I, called Richard the Lion-Hearted.

He died on 6 Jul 1189 in Chinon. He was buried in Fontrevraud Abbey.

(King) HENRY II was born about 1519 in Saint Germain-en-Laye. Henry II (of France) (1519-59), king of France (1547-59), second son of King Francis I, born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. He married the Florentine noblewoman Catherine de Médicis in 1533, and when his father died in 1547, Henry succeeded to the throne. During his reign he was much influenced by his mistress, Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566), duchesse de Valentinois, and by Duc Anne de Montmorency, constable of France (1493-1567). An ardent Roman Catholic, Henry persecuted the Protestants (Huguenots) in the later years of his reign. He continued the war waged by his father against Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, seizing from him the bishoprics of Metz, Toul, and Verdun in 1552. Engaging in war with England in 1557-58, Henry won back Calais and Guînes, the last English possessions in France. From 1556 to 1559 he was involved in a war with Charles V's son, Philip II of Spain, notable mainly for the Spanish victory at Saint Quentin, Picardy (1557). Peace with Spain and England was restored by the Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis (1559), by which Henry agreed to give up France's possessions in Italy. He was succeeded by his son, Francis II.

He died about 1559. Parents: (King) FRANCIS I (King of France) and CLAUDE.

He was married to Catherine De MADICIS about 1553. Children were: (King) CHARLES IX (King of France), (King) HENRY III (King of France).

Henry III (of Castile and León) (1379-1406), king of Castile and León (1390-1406), the son and successor of King John I. Although at the beginning of his reign the country was plagued with continual disorder and violent anti-Semitism, Henry was soon able to placate the nobility and restore royal authority. He won victories over the English at sea, and the conquest of the Canary Islands began under his sponsorship in 1402. He died about 1406. King of Castile and Leon

(King) HENRY III⁽¹⁾ was born on 1 Oct 1206 in Winchester, Hampshire, England.⁽⁴⁾ Henry III (of England) (1207-72), king of England (1216-72), son and successor of King John (Lackland), and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciar Hubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During the regency the French, who occupied much of eastern England, were expelled, and rebellious barons were subdued.
Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert de Burgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France. In order to secure the throne of Sicily for one of his sons, Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum. When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, they refused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter was referred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decided in Henry's favor in a judgment called the Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and took him prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) south of Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and the barons agreed to a compromise with Edward and his party in 1267. From that time on Edward ruled England, and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king.

He died on 16 Nov 1272 in Palace of Westminster, Abbey, England. He was buried on 20 Nov 1272 in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England. He has reference number 8XJ5-ZJ. Count of Bar Parents: (King) JOHN I (Lackland) and (Queen) Isabella TAILLEFER (England).

He was married to (Queen) ELEONORE (Countess of Provence) on 14 Jan 1236 in Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England. Children were: (King) EDWARD I (King of England)(Longshanks) , Margaret PLANTAGENET, BEATRICE (Anjou), (Earl) EDMUND (Crounchback)(Earl of Lancaster), RICHARD, JOHN, CATHERINE, WILLIAM , HENRY.

(King) HENRY III (King of France) was born about 1551. Henry III (of France) (1551-89), king of France (1574-89), who, despite his considerable gifts, failed to resolve the religious civil wars in his country and brought it close to bankruptcy.

The third son of Henry II and Catherine de Médicis, Henry, born at Fontainebleau on September 19, 1551, was his mother's favorite son. Henry took part in the victories over the Huguenots at Jarnac and at Moncontour in 1569. In 1572 he aided his mother in planning the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew's Day. He was elected king of Poland in 1573, but after one year returned to France to ascend the throne on the death of his brother, Charles IX. The wars between the Roman Catholics and Protestants continued throughout Henry's reign, and he took advantage of the strife to increase his power.

In 1576 Henry issued the Edict of Beaulieu, which accorded more privileges to the Huguenots. Displeased with the edict, the Roman Catholics, under the leadership of Henri I de Lorraine, duc de Guise, then formed the Holy League and renewed the war with the Huguenots. The war ended in 1577 with the Peace of Bergerac. The league was revived in 1584, however, when Henry's younger brother died, leaving Henry of Navarre (a Huguenot, the future Henry IV of France) heir to the throne of the childless king.

In the following year, when the king excluded Henry of Navarre from the succession and repealed all the privileges granted to the Huguenots, Henry of Navarre began the so-called War of the Three Henrys against the league and the king. After the termination of the war in 1587 Henry III found his power rivaled by that of Henri de Lorraine. In 1588, on the Day of Barricades, the citizenry of Paris, under the leadership of Henri de Lorraine, revolted against the king, forcing him to flee the city. The king subsequently had Henri de Lorraine and his brother Louis de Lorraine (1555-88), assassinated and allied himself with Henry of Navarre, whom he declared his successor. The two Henrys then became joint leaders of a Huguenot army. While attempting to regain Paris on August 1, 1589, Henry III was stabbed by Jacques Clément (1567?-89), a fanatical Dominican friar, and died the next day.
He died about 1589. Parents: (King) HENRY II and Catherine De MADICIS.

Henry was born in Bolingbroke Castle in April 1367, the son of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. He was also known as Henry of Lancaster and Henry of Bolingbroke. From 1387 to 1390 he was a leader of the party that opposed his cousin King Richard II. Henry subsequently fought with the Teutonic Knights against the Lithuanians and made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After his return to England he allied himself with the king. Because of a quarrel with Thomas Mowbray, 1st duke of Norfolk, in 1398, Henry was exiled for six years by Richard, who promised that Henry would not lose his inheritance. When Henry's father died, however, Richard confiscated the Lancastrian estates willed to Henry. Consequently, Henry raised an army, invaded England, and captured Richard, who later abdicated.
In 1399 Henry was elected king by Parliament. The following year he suppressed a revolt of nobles who supported Richard. The Scots and the Welsh, aided by the French, then began a rebellion against the English crown. The Scots were defeated (1402) at Humbleton Hill, but the Welsh continued the rebellion for seven years under the leadership of the Welsh chief Owen Glendower. In 1403 the Percy family rebelled against Henry because they were dissatisfied with the rewards for service he had bestowed upon them; they were defeated in the Battle of Shrewsbury in the same year. Wars and rebellions persisted after that date but diminished in number. During his reign Henry IV persecuted the religious sect known as the Lollards. He died in London on March 20, 1413, and was succeeded by his son, Henry V.

(King) HENRY V⁽¹⁾ was born on 9 Aug 1387 in Monmouth, England.⁽⁴⁾ Henry V (of England) (1387-1422), king of England (1413-22), known for his victorious campaigns against France, born at Monmouth in August or September 1387. He was the son and successor of Henry IV. In 1403 Henry led the royal army that defeated the rebellious Percy family, led by Sir Henry Percy, at Shrewsbury. He also commanded the English forces that put down the revolt of the Welsh chief Owen Glendower. In 1410-11, when his father was incapacitated by illness, Henry headed the royal council, but was removed after a political quarrel with his father. On succeeding to the throne in 1413 Henry V restored Sir Henry Percy's son to his lands and titles; he also honorably reburied at Westminster Abbey the remains of Richard II, who had been deposed by Henry IV and had died in prison during the latter's reign. The new king continued his father's policy in persecuting the religious sect known as the Lollards and executed their leader, Sir John Oldcastle, in 1417.
In 1415 Henry warred against France, winning in that same year the Battle of Agincourt. The following year he allied himself with the Holy Roman emperor Sigismund, and in 1417 he began the conquest of Normandy, completing it with the capture of Rouen two years later. He concluded a peace treaty with Charles VI of France at Troyes in 1420, obtaining Charles's daughter, Catherine of Valois, in marriage and securing the promise of succession to the French throne on the death of Charles. When Henry returned to England in 1421, leaving his brother Thomas, duke of Clarence, as governor of Normandy, the French rose in opposition to English rule and defeated the duke. Henry returned to France for a third campaign, but he became ill and died. He was the most influential ruler in western Europe at the time of his death in Vincennes, France, August 31, 1422. He was succeeded by his son Henry VI.

(King) HENRY VI⁽¹⁾ was born on 6 Dec 1421 in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England. Henry VI King of England, Duke of Cornwall was born on 6 Dec 1421 in Widsor, England. Died on 21 May 1471 in Tower of London. Henry VI (of England) (1421-71), king of England (1422-61, 1470-71), the last of the house of Lancaster.

The son of King Henry V and Queen Catherine of Valois, Henry was born at Windsor on December 6, 1421. He never showed any aptitude for government, and throughout his reign the English court was dominated by competing aristocratic factions. Like his father, he claimed the crown of France, but France gradually freed itself from English control between 1430 and 1453. In 1445 Henry married a French princess, Margaret of Anjou. During the 1450s a group of nobles sought to replace him with Richard, duke of York, the next in line of succession to the throne. The resulting civil conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York, known as the Wars of the Roses (see Roses, Wars of the), began in 1455. After intermittent fighting Henry was captured by the Yorkists at Northampton and was compelled to acknowledge Richard rather than his own infant son as successor. In 1460 Richard was killed by Henry's forces at Wakefield. Richard's son subsequently became leader of the Yorkists and proclaimed himself king as Edward IV.

Henry and his queen escaped to Scotland, where they remained until 1464. In that year he returned to take part in a rebellion against Edward but was captured (1465) and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He had suffered attacks of insanity all his life and was now completely incapacitated. Nevertheless, he became nominal ruler again in 1470. Dethroned the following year and returned to the tower by Edward, he died there on May 21, 1471, probably murdered on Edward's order.

Henry, who founded Eton College and King's College, University of Cambridge, was venerated by many as a saint because of his piety.
He died on 21 May 1471 in Tower of London, London, Middlesex, England. He was buried in Chertsey Abbey, later transferre.

(King) HENRY VII⁽¹⁾ was born on 28 Jan 1457 in Pembroke Castle, Wales. Henry VII King of England was born on 28 Jan 1457 in Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire, England. Died on 21 Apr 1509 in Richmond, Surrey. Reigned in 1485/1509. Henry VII (of England), often called Henry Tudor (1457-1509), king of England (1485-1509) and first ruler of the house of Tudor, whose reign initiated a period of national unity following the strife of the 15th century.

Henry, the son of Edmund Tudor, earl of Richmond (1430?-56), and Margaret Beaufort, countess of Richmond and Derby (a direct descendant of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster), was born on January 28, 1457, in Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire. After the Yorkist king Edward IV seized the throne from the Lancastrian Henry VI in 1471, Henry Tudor, a Lancastrian, took refuge in Brittany. He became head of the house of Lancaster on the death of Henry VI in the same year. In 1483, taking advantage of the indignation aroused against Edward's successor, Richard III, whose nephews, Edward V and Richard, duke of York (1472-83), were murdered in the Tower of London, presumably on Richard's order, Henry crossed over to Wales, where he gathered an army of supporters. In 1485, at Bosworth Field in England, he met and defeated Richard, who was killed during the battle. Henry Tudor was subsequently crowned Henry VII in London. In the following year he married the Yorkist heiress, Elizabeth (1465-1503), eldest daughter of Edward IV, uniting the houses of York and Lancaster and ending the Wars of the Roses.

After his accession Henry had to contend with several Yorkist uprisings, notably one led by the English impostor Lambert Simnel (circa 1471-1534), who claimed to be Edward, earl of Warwick (1475-99), the last Yorkist claimant to the throne. The real earl of Warwick was actually imprisoned by Henry in the Tower of London at the time. Another revolt was led by the Walloon impostor Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be Richard, duke of York, the younger of the murdered sons of Edward IV. Although both impostors had strong backing in England and abroad, their forces were defeated by Henry. In 1494 Henry sent the English statesman Sir Edward Poynings (1459-1521) to Ireland to reestablish English control in that country. Henry managed to maintain peaceful relations with Austria, Spain, and France throughout most of his years as king. The reorganization in 1487 of the Star Chamber was one of several means by which Henry strengthened the royal power over the nobles. He died in Richmond, Surrey, on April 21, 1509, and was succeeded by his second son, Henry VIII.

He died on 21 Apr 1509 in Richmond Palace. He was buried in King Henry VII's, Westminster Abbey. Accession to throne: 22 August 1485, Bosworth Field Parents: (Earl) Edmund TUDOR and Margaret BEAUFORT.

Reigned in 1509/1547. Henry VIII (1491-1547), king of England (1509-47), and founder of the Church of England. The son of King Henry VII, he profoundly influenced the character of the English monarchy.

Henry was born in London on June 28, 1491, and on the death of his father in 1509, succeeded to the throne. He then married his brother's widow Catherine of Aragón, having been betrothed to her through a papal dispensation secured in 1503. This union was the first of Henry's six marriages, which were affected by the political and religious conditions of the time and by the monarch's increasingly despotic behavior. At the beginning of his reign, Henry's good looks and hearty personality, his fondness for sport and the hunt, and his military prowess endeared him to his subjects. A monarch of the period known as the Renaissance, he entertained numerous scholars and artists, including the German painter Hans Holbein the Younger, who painted several famous portraits of the king and members of his court.

A Question of Divorce

In 1511 Henry joined in the Holy League against France, and in 1513 he led the English forces through a victorious campaign in northern France. Deserted by his allies, Henry arranged a marriage in 1514 between his sister Mary (1496-1533) and Louis XII of France, with whom he formed an alliance. Louis's successor, Francis I, met Henry at a magnificently staged meeting on the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, but no significant political decisions resulted from this meeting. In 1525 riots broke out in England in protest against an attempt by Henry to levy taxes for military purposes, and he withdrew from major military activity in Europe.

In 1527 Henry announced his desire to divorce his wife, on the grounds that the papal dispensation making the marriage possible was invalid. The chief reason for the divorce was that Catherine had failed to produce a male heir. Her only surviving child was Mary, later Mary I of England. In addition, Henry was in love with Anne Boleyn, a young and beautiful lady-in-waiting of the queen. Several obstacles, however, stood in the way of the divorce. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, Catherine's nephew, strongly opposed the divorce, and Pope Clement VII, whom Charles had made a prisoner, could not invalidate the marriage without displeasing his captor. In 1528 the pope was persuaded to appoint the English cardinal and statesman Thomas Wolsey and Lorenzo Campeggio (1474-1539), a papal legate, to try the case in an English legatine court. In 1529, the pope summoned the case to Rome. When the prospect of securing a papal annulment seemed hopeless, Henry dismissed Wolsey and appointed Sir Thomas More. The latter, however, was reluctant to support the divorce.

The Break with the Papacy

Henry now proceeded to dissolve one by one the ties to the papacy. With the aid of parliamentary legislation, he first secured control of the clergy, compelling that group in 1532 to acknowledge him as head of the English church. In the following year Henry secretly married Anne Boleyn, who was crowned queen after Henry's obedient archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage with Catherine void and that with Anne valid. An act of succession affirmed the declaration of the archbishop and established Anne's progeny as heirs to the throne.

Although Henry was immediately excommunicated, he repudiated papal jurisdiction in 1534 and made himself the supreme ecclesiastical authority in England. The English people were required to affirm under oath Henry's supremacy and the act of succession. Sir Thomas More and the English cardinal John Fisher were executed for refusing to accept the religious supremacy of the English monarch. Henry dissolved the monastic communities and gave much of their property to the nobles in exchange for their support.

In 1536, after charging Anne Boleyn with incest and adultery, Henry had her executed. A few days after Anne's death, Henry married Jane Seymour, who died in 1537 after bearing Henry's only legitimate son, Edward, later Edward VI. A marriage was arranged in 1540 with Anne of Cleves (1515-57) in order to form a tie between England and the Protestant princes of Germany. Because Anne was unattractive and because Henry found the political alliance no longer to his advantage, he divorced her after several months and married Catherine Howard in the same year. She was executed summarily in 1542 for having been unchaste prior to marriage and having committed adultery. In the following year Henry married his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, who survived him.

Between 1542 and 1546 Henry was involved in war with Scotland and France. His troops defeated the Scots at Solway Moss in 1542. They captured Boulogne-sur-Mer from the French in 1544, and when peace was made in 1546 Henry received an indemnity from France. He died in London on January 28, 1547.

Effects of Henry's Reign

Although he altered the church, Henry did not wish to introduce Protestant doctrine. Those who refused to accept Church of England teachings as well as those who rejected Henry's authority over the church were executed. The licensing of an English translation of the Bible, the issuance of Cranmer's litany, and the translation into English of certain parts of the traditional service were the only important religious changes made during Henry's reign. In terms of the monarchy, he intensified the authoritarian elements characteristic of the Tudor dynasty to which he belonged. The great strength of government developed by Henry was used powerfully in the reign of Elizabeth I, his daughter by Anne Boleyn.
