This was quite illuminating really. Henry II did not come up with his legal system all on his own, he got the circuit judge system from his father in-law, and just expanded on it into Glanville, the foundation of the English common law.
It is amazing how much the legacy of the Anglo-Saxons endured in England, long after they had been destroyed. King Henry understood this and sought to conform the monarchy with these ideals. Becoming more English rather than the people becoming French/Norman.
William the Conqueror died in 1087 and was succeeded by his third son William Rufus, who was killed in a hunting accident in 1100. Henry, his younger brother assumed the throne.
King Henry I had the most children of any British Monarch having a total of 29 or 30 children though only 5 were legitamite the rest he had from other affairs with numerous women.
The "divinity" of royalty was smart spin done with the Christian Church -- both groups were falling way out of favor during the Dark Ages, so hence, we saw a combining of images of royalty and the Church. PR! By the Middle Ages, all this stuff was very entrenched. Spin! Very good channel.
I'm learning more about my ancestry every day! He married his mistress Sibyl and they had a daughter named Sybil Elizabeth who was Queen of Scotland. I am named after my grandmother and we were named after them, Sybil
OMG! I have just discovered that one of his other mistresses had a child and he is my 26th generation grandfather on my grandfather's lineage as well as on my grandmother's lineage! This just proves that the royal family is truly all related! Lol
This is kind of hilarious to see how many are his descendant. He is also a great+++++ (and then some) grandfather via his illegitimated son Robert de Caen.
Since Norman-French was spoken, the third son of William I was named Henri. He fought his older brothers for the throne and became Henri I of England. There was Henri I of France.
there is speculation that Henry may of played a part in his brother William Rufus' *hunting accident*! it may make sense if the Curthouse/Rufus compromise is true! The way I have deciphered this part of history is, Henry was the spoiled,jealous younger brother who felt left out by his older brothers!
George McDaniels 7 Years late but yes I agree with this theory because Henry announced himself as king a day after William 11 died with no means of long term communication
Its wrong or defamatory to keep repeating that these matters were determined by force. Force was only used when ambiguities arose in the system of right. Even then force was informed by the right.
The story of William Atheling and Matilda, daughter of Fulk, is a mystery that may or may not be as innocent as this vid puts it...Fulk ennt on to become king of jerusalem and imo the arranged marriage had something to do with that...Didn't Matilda end up as the abbess of a newly formed religious order or was that someone else???
Isabelle of Anjou, renamed Matilda for her marriage 1119 (she was just a child), was kept a hostage at Henry I's court, supposedly because he could not bear to part with her. In reality, to ensure that her father could not remarry her to one of Henry I's political opponents... (her sister Sybilla was married 1123 to Henry's nephew William Clito, but the marriage was annulled the next year at the behest of the English king despite the couple's protests supported by Fulk). Isabelle/Matilda later joined the newly established Fontevrault Abbey but her dowry was never repaid to the Counts of Anjou. I don't know who paid for her dowry to the convent... and whether Geoffrey got any compensation for his sister's dowry in his wife's own dowry (with her canny father withholding her castles until his own death).
All the English monarchs including the Norman dynasty were all descended from the House of Wessex. So for that question of how long it takes the monarchy to be 'british' they were all descended from Anglo-Saxons, who, technically, ain't 'bretons' anyway...
King Henry I begat three children with Lady Sybil Corbett of Alcester. Their youngest son Prince William de Marisco begat Prince Jordan de Marisco who married Agnes Plantagenet, daughter of Geoffrey V of Anjou whose son became Henry II of England. Henry I descendants grew with different surnames as Marris, Morris, Morrissy & Morrissey.
I'm very lucky to know that he is your grandfather.............I'm English literature student in that way I come to know about him.............respect from India
@@anitakumari9055 When I did my genealogy, I went back to the year 360. Almost 1700 years. I was trying to see how Christianity came to Northern Europe. Saint Paul went all the way to Spain teaching the gospel. Back in Biblical times France was call Gall as in the book letter to the Gallations. Anyway, I found that I'm related to many kings and queens of England, France and ancient Germany. My mothers ancestors came to America in 1607, with the Jamestown colony. And, both my mother and father have ancestors that arrived in America in 1620, on the ship they called the Mayflower. I now live in California USA.

Ok, his father William I left his dominions as follows Eldest son Robert got Normandy 2nd Son William II got England Youngest son Henry I got 5000 pounds in Silver Does anyone know how much (roughly) 5000 silver would be worth in todays currency?
I'm the 28th Great Grandaughter through his daughter Matilda. The lineage down through John Throckmorton that came to America. Throg's Bridge in New York is named after him. I'm a distant cousin to Lady Diana Spencer. We both are descendants of Hugh le de Spenser called The Younger. The Queen Isabella had him hanged, drawned and quartered.
I wish King Henry VIII was my great great grandad, because that would mean I would also be related to Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleaves, Katherine Howard, And Catherine Parr.
This was quite illuminating really. Henry II did not come up with his legal system all on his own, he got the circuit judge system from his father in-law, and just expanded on it into Glanville, the foundation of the English common law.
He wasn't actually called Beauclerc until hundreds of years later.

great channel t you for your efforts
hhhgfffh ff you have first comment!
Wasn't William he Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy, monarch of England St that time?
William the Conqueror died in 1087 and was succeeded by his third son William Rufus, who was killed in a hunting accident in 1100. Henry, his younger brother assumed the throne.
Why are you using Alan Ereira's for the ones that don't have 3 parts?
Is this comment section a family reunion?
One of my grandfathers! Wish his son Robert would have ended up as the next king but he was illegitimate.
What's the song at the beginning ?
King Henry I had the most children of any British Monarch having a total of 29 or 30 children though only 5 were legitamite the rest he had from other affairs with numerous women.
And you thought Robert Baratheon had a lot of bastards

@@robertkelly9772 was someone else
ROBERT KELLY sources? And plus to be a great king is not synonymous with being a great person
my 29th generation ancestor emptied Henry 1st's piss bucket. Elevated to Master of the Poo in 1128
Henry I. is famous for being the first medivial king able to read and write, therefore his nickname " the Beauclerc"!
His fluency in English was very poor. And he could only read latin.
Saying that Henry i had a scholarly bent is a bit of a stretch.

That's really cool. How do you learn that? I would also like to know about my ancestors.
No mention of the Lay investiture and homage dispute that dominated the first 6 years of his reign and dominated his relations with Anselm.

Anglo-Saxon is just a culture - not a people, the people were celts. Science proves this, as the English are 70% celtic via gene study.
