  • Notes 


    • Henry I (4 May 1008 - 4 August 1060) was King of France from 1031 to h i s d e a t h. The royal of France reached its lowest point in terms of size d u r i n g h is reign and for this reason he is often seen as emblematic of t h e w e a k ness of the early Capetians. This is not entirely agreed upon, h o w e v e r, as other historians regard him as a strong but realistic king, w h o w a s f o rced to conduct a policy mindful of the limitations of the Fre n c h m o n archy.

      After the death of his first wife, Matilda of Frisia, King Henry search e d t h e c o urts of Europe for a suitable bride, but could not locate a pr i n c e s s who was not related to him within legal degrees of kinship. At l a s t h e s e nt an embassy to distant Kiev, which returned with Anne (also c a l l e d A gnes). Anne and Henry were married at the cathedral of Reims on M a y 1 9 , 1 0 51.
