Isabel\Elizabeth second married Henry I Beauclerc King of England (266) , 30G Grandfather, M, son of William I the Conqueror King of England (236), M (abt 1028-9 Sep 1087) & Matilda of Flanders (443), F (abt 1031-3 Nov 1083). Born abt Sep 1068 in Selby, Yorkshire, England. Henry I Beauclerc King of died in St. Denis-le, Fermont, Near Gisors, France on 1 Dec 1135, he was 67.

William's younger brother Henry (reigned 1100-35) succeeded to the throne. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, against the po ssibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the English throne. Afte r the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his co nquest of Normandy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner. An energetic, decis ive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henry centralised the administration of Eng land and Normandy in the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a grou p of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the C hannel. Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by the official records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first excheque r account to survive). He established peaceful relations with Scotland, thr ough his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland. Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted hi s good education (as the youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English. In 1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in the English Channel. This posed a succession problem , as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expect successio n to either England or Normandy. Henry had a legitimate daughter Matilda (wi dow of Emperor Henry V, subsequently married to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death allegedly caused by eatin g too many lampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler.
