EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the regal presence of King Henry I of England, also known as Henry Beauclerc or Henry the Builder (1068-1135), as he sits majestically on his throne, adorned in royal robes and holding his scepter and sword. The photograph, taken from an original painting, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the English monarchy during the 1100s. Henry I ascended to the throne in 1100 following the death of his older brother, King William II, and ruled until his own demise in 1135. Known for his military prowess, diplomatic skills, and ambitious building projects, Henry I left a lasting impact on England. He oversaw the construction of numerous castles and abbeys, including the famous White Tower of the Tower of London. In this photograph, King Henry I is joined by his successor, Henry II (1050-1189), who is depicted standing beside him. Henry II, the son of Henry I's older brother, Duke of Normandy, was chosen as Henry I's heir after the king's only legitimate son, William Adelin, perished in the sinking of the White Ship in 1120. Henry II would go on to become one of the most powerful and influential kings in English history, reigning from 1154 to 1189. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of intrigue, power, and the making of English history. The image of King Henry I and Henry II together serves as a reminder of the complex web of familial and political relationships that have shaped the monarchy over the centuries.
