Narrative

Name Prefix:<NPFX> King
Name Suffix:<NSFX> I, Of France "The Grand"
acceded ruled 1031 - 1060. Leader of the First Crusade.
----------------------------
Henri I (May 4 , 1008 - August 4 </definition/August_4> 1060 </definition/1060>) was King of France </definition/List_of_French_monarchs> from 1031 </definition/1031> to 1060.
A member of the Capetian Dynasty </definition/Capetian>, Henri was born in Reims </definition/Reims>, France, the son of King Robert II </definition/Robert_II_of_France> (972-1031) and Constance d'Arles (973-1032). He was crowned King of France at the Cathedral in Reims on May 14 </definition/May_14>, 1027 </definition/1027>.
The reign of Henri I, like those of his predecessors, was marked by territorial struggles, including joining his brother Robert in a revolt against his father. In a strategic move, Henri came to the rescue of his very young nephew, the newly appointed Duke William of Normandy, (who would go on to become William the Conqueror </definition/William_the_Conqueror>), to suppress a revolt by William?s vassals. In 1047 </definition/1047> Henri secured the dukedom for William in their decisive victory over the vassals at a battle near Caen </definition/Caen>.
</definition/Image:1032-France.jpg> </definition/Image:1032-France.jpg>
A few years later, when William, who was cousin to king Edward the Confessor </definition/Edward_the_Confessor> of England, married the daughter of the count of Flanders, King Henri I feared William?s potential power. In 1054 </definition/1054> and again in 1058 </definition/1058> Henri went to war to try to conquer Normandy from William, but on both occasions he was defeated. Despite his efforts, Henri?s thirty-year reign saw feudal power in France reach its pinnacle.
Map shows France at the time of Henri I.
King Henri I died on August 4, 1060 in Vitry-en-Brie </definition/Vitry-en-Brie>, France, and was interred in Saint Denis Basilica </definition/Saint_Denis_Basilica>. He was succeeded by his son, Philippe I </definition/Philippe_I_of_France>, who was 7 at the time of his death; for six years Henri's queen, Anne of Kiev </definition/Anne_of_Kiev>, ruled as regent.
He was also duke of Burgundy </definition/Duke_of_Burgundy> from 1016 </definition/1016> to 1032 </definition/1032>, when he abdicated the duchy to his brother Robert Capet </definition/Robert_I%2C_Duke_of_Burgundy>
