Hvem daterte Henrik I av England?

Henrik I av England (født ca. 1068, død 1. desember 1135) var den femte sønnen til Vilhelm Erobreren og det første barnet som ble født i England etter den normanniske erobringen i 1066. Han etterfulgte sin eldre bror Vilhelm II (Vilhelm Rufus) som konge av England i 1100 og beseiret sin eldste bror hertug Robert Curthose og erobret Normandie i 1106. Henrik ble på 1300-tallet kalt for Beauclerc grunnet sine interesser i boklig kunnskap.

Sybilla Corbet (Alcester 1077 – na 1157) was een Engelse edelvrouwe en een maîtresse van koning Hendrik I van Engeland. Ze was waarschijnlijk een dochter van Robert Corbet, heer (lord) van Alcester en een onbekende vrouw.

Ze huwde met Herbert FitzHerbert en kreeg samen met hem een zoon, eveneens Herbert FitzHerbert genaamd. Als maîtresse van de koning was ze moeder van Sybilla van Normandië en Reginald van Dunstanville. Ook van twee andere kinderen van Hendrik was zij misschien de moeder, Willem en Rohese, hoewel de laatste volgens sommige bronnen genoemd wordt als dochter van Sybilla en FitzHerbert.

Edith Forne (d. after 1129), was an English noblewoman who was the concubine of King Henry I of England and the foundress of Osney Abbey near Oxford.

She was the daughter of Forn Sigulfson, Lord of Greystoke, Cumberland.

Edith had three children by King Henry:

1. Robert FitzEdith, (1093–1172) who married Maud d'Avranches. They had one daughter, Maud, who married Renaud, Sire of Courtenay (son of Miles, Sire of Courtenay and Ermengarde of Nevers).
2. William de Tracy (1097–1140).
3. Adeliza FitzEdith who appears in charters with her brother, Robert.

In 1120, Henry caused Edith to marry Robert D'Oyly the younger, second son of Nigel D'Oyly. As a marriage portion, she was granted the Manor of Cleydon, Buckinghamshire. Robert and Edith had at least two children: Henry, buried at Osney in 1163, and Gilbert.

In 1129, Edith persuaded her husband to build the Church of St Mary, in the Isle of Osney, near Oxford Castle, for the use of Augustine Canons: this was to become Osney Abbey. She told him that she had dreamt of the chattering of magpies, interpreted by a chaplain as souls in Purgatory who needed a church founding to expiate their sins.

Edith was buried in Osney Abbey, in a religious habit, as John Leland describes upon seeing her tomb as it was on the eve of the Dissolution: ‘Ther lyeth an image of Edith, of stone, in th' abbite of a vowess, holding a hart in her right hand, on the north side of the high altaire’. The legendary dream of magpies was painted near the tomb.

Nest ferch Rhys (død etter 1136) var walisisk prinsesse som er berømt for sin enestående skjønnhet. Hum ble født omkring 1073 i festningen Dinefwr Castle, Carmarthenshire som datter av prins Rhys ap Tewdwr Mawr og dennes hustru Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon.
