Notes about Hendrik I Capet

NOTE: HENDRIK I (vóór 17 mei 1008 - 4 aug. 1060), koning van Frankrijk van 1031-1060, uit het Huis der Capetingen, was een zoon van Robert II de Vrome, tot wiens medekoning hij in 1027 werd aangesteld. In 1033 verzette hij
zich krachtig tegen de opstand van zijn vazallen, de graven van Champagne, Blois en Tours, en de intriges van zijn eigen moederConstance. Na een bondgenootschap met de Duitse keizer Koenraad II verloofde hij zich met diens dochter Mathilde in 1033; na haar dood huwde hij in 1034 een andere Duitse prinses Mathilde, die stierf in 1044. Hij trouwde in 1051 een derde maal, en wel met Anna, dochter van de grootvorst van Kiëv, die systematisch allianties met westerse dynastieën nastreefde. Op het einde van zijn regering heeft Hendrik met weinigsucces de strijd aangebonden met de hertogen van Normandië.

================================
Henry I king of France from 1026 to 1060, whose reign was marked bystruggles against rebelious vassals.
The son of Robert II the Pious and grandson of Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty, Henry was appointed king at Reims (1026) in his father's lifetime, following the death of his elder brother Hugh. His mother Constance, however, favored his younger brother Robert for the throne, and civil war broke out on King Robert II's death (1031). The younger Robert was given Burgundy in 1032, after Henry had sought refuge with Robert, Duke of Normandy. From 1033 to 1043, Henry struggled with his feudatories, notably Eudes of Blois and his brother Robert. In 1055,as the result of an agreement made by Robert II, the county of Sens cameto the crown as the sole territorial gain of Henry's reign.
Henry helped William (the future William I of England), Robert's successor as duke of Normandy, to quell his rebellious vassals at the Battle of Val-aux-Dunes (or Val-es-Dunes; 1047), but he was there after usually at war with him -- a notable defeat for the king being that a tVaraville (1058). Henry tried to resist papal interference but could not prevent Pope Leo IX from holding a council at Reims (1049). Philip, elder son of Henry's marriage to a Russian princess, was crowned in 1059.
