Individuals : Malcolm III King of SCOTLAND
From the Encyclopaedia Britannica on line
Malcolm III Canmore, (born c. 1031-died Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnwick, Northumberland, Eng.), king of Scotland from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom.
The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father’s murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife.
Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm’s death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm’s six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53).

Individuals : Plantagenet King Edward II of ENGLAND
Notes for EdwardII, King of England, Plantagenet:
One of the sadder personalities among English monarchs, it is hard not to feel sorry for Edward II, not only for the terrible manner of his death, but also for the difficulties that beset him during his 20 year reign.The only surviving son of Edward I and his first wife Eleanor, Edward was born into a family of girls.He grew up dominiated by female company as his father was frequently absent, yet he had a poor relationship with his mother.As a result, Edward was very reliant on his friends and was fiercely loyal to them, sticking to Piers Gaveston and then the Despencers long after it was clear to everyone else that they were bad for him and for the country.He was eventually deposed and murdered on his wife's orders in 1327.
Blessed with good health, good looks and a good brain, Edward was physically strong and enjoyed a variety of sporting interests.He was amiable, fond of good conversation, artistic and had a strong sense of humor.But many of his agreeable traits usually militated against him: although he was generous, he was unable to be severe when the occasion demanded and his loyalty to his friends, one of his greatest virtues, led to his downfall, for he was a poor judge of character.His reign has gone down in history as one of increasing prosperity, for there was less taxation than under either his father or his son.
Edward's reign was lagued by rebellion, largely because of his poor choice of advisers and the arrogant and inefficient way in which they governed in his name.Twice his nobles rebelled against him, murdering Piers Gaveston in 1312 and Sir Hugh Despenser and his son in 1326.
See Hugh Despenser in report for information on that family.

Individuals : Queen of England Isabella de FRANCE
Notes for Isabella de France, Queen of England:
Edward married Isabella in 1308 and the couple had four children.It is difficult to assess the nature of their marriage because Edward was almost certainly homosexual and his relationship with Piers Gaveston was of that kind.Isabella thus had to accept considerable humiliation, which she endured until she fell in love with Roger Mortimer, an opponent of the the King.
In 1326, Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, who had both been living in France, landed on Suffolk, and marched against the King.Edward was deposed in favor of his 14 year old son in 1327. Isabella had her husband murdered in that year.The circumstances of Edward's death were horrible.After his deposition in January 1327, he was eventually improsoned in Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, from where it was announced on September 21 that he had died.Isabella and Mortimer had ordered that he be put to death but with no extenal marking on his body to betray the violence.The only way to do this was by disembowelling; cum vero ignito inter celanda confossus - with a red hot iron inserted into the rectum - which was a conventional but gruesome death for homosexuals at this time.
For the next three years, Isabella and Roger ruled in the name of the young Edward III, but in 1330, Edward seized power.Mortimer was tried and executed and Isabella was forced to retire from public life.

Marriage
Medieval genealogical picture
Early chronology showing Henry (top) and his children, (l to r) Edward, Margaret, Beatrice, Edmund and Katherine, 1300-1308
Henry investigated a range of potential marriage partners in his youth, but they all proved unsuitable for reasons of European and domestic politics.[164][u] In 1236 he finally married Eleanor of Provence, the daughter of Raymond-Berengar, the Count of Provence, and Beatrice of Savoy.[166] Eleanor was well-mannered, cultured and articulate, but the primary reason for the marriage was political, as Henry stood to create a valuable set of alliances with the rulers of the south and south-east of France.[167] Over the coming years, Eleanor emerged as a hard-headed, firm politician. Historians Margaret Howell and David Carpenter describe her as being "more combative" and "far tougher and more determined" than her husband.[168]
The marriage contract was confirmed in 1235 and Eleanor travelled to England to meet Henry for the first time.[169] The pair were married at Canterbury Cathedral in January 1236, and Eleanor was crowned queen at Westminster shortly afterwards in a lavish ceremony planned by Henry.[170] There was a substantial age gap between the couple - Henry was 28, Eleanor only 12 - but historian Margaret Howell observes that the King "was generous and warm-hearted and prepared to lavish care and affection on his wife".[171] Henry gave Eleanor extensive gifts and paid personal attention to establishing and equipping her household.[172] He also brought her fully into his religious life, including involving her in his devotion to Edward the Confessor.[173]
Despite initial concerns that the Queen might be barren, Henry and Eleanor had five children together.[174][v] In 1239 Eleanor gave birth to their first child, Edward, named after the Confessor.[7] Henry was overjoyed and held huge celebrations, giving lavishly to the Church and to the poor to encourage God to protect his young son.[180] Their first daughter, Margaret, named after Eleanor's sister, followed in 1240, her birth also accompanied by celebrations and donations to the poor.[181] Henry's third child, Beatrice, was named after his mother-in-law, and born in 1242 during a campaign in Poitou.[182] Their fourth child, Edmund, arrived in 1245 and was named after the 9th-century saint: concerned about Eleanor's health, Henry donated large amounts of money to the Church throughout the pregnancy.[183] A third daughter, Katherine, was born in 1253 but soon fell ill, possibly the result of a degenerative disorder such as Rett syndrome, and was unable to speak.[184] She died in 1257 and Henry was distraught.[184][w] Henry's children spent most of their childhood at Windsor Castle and he appears to have been extremely attached to them, rarely spending extended periods of time apart from his family.[186]
After Eleanor's marriage, many of her Savoyard relatives joined her in England.[187] At least 170 Savoyards arrived in England after 1236, coming from Savoy, Burgundy and Flanders, including Eleanor's uncles: Boniface became the Archbishop of Canterbury, and William became Henry's chief adviser for a short period.[188] Henry arranged marriages for many of them into the English nobility, a practice that initially caused friction with the English barons, who resisted landed estates passing into the hands of foreigners.[189] The Savoyards were careful not to exacerbate the situation and became increasingly integrated into English baronial society, forming an important power base for Eleanor in England.[190]

Individuals : Agatha Von Brunswick Princess of ENGLAND
From Wilipedia
Nothing is known of Agatha's early life, and what speculation has appeared is inextricably linked to the contentious issue of Agatha's paternity, one of the unresolved questions of medieval genealogy. As the birth of her children is speculatively placed at around the year 1045, her own birth was probably before about 1030. She came to England with her husband and children in 1057, but was widowed shortly after her arrival. Following the Norman conquest of England, in 1067 she fled with her children to Scotland, finding refuge under her future son-in-law Malcolm III. While one modern source indicates that she spent her last years as a nun at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, dying before about 1093,[2] Simeon of Durham[3] carries what appears to be the last reference to her in 1070.[4]

Individuals : Geoffrey V Count of Anjou PLANTAGENET
Notes for *GEOFFREY V Count of Anjou PLANTAGENET:
The Plantagenet family is without a doubt one of the more interesting families of Europe from the period.Descended in the male line from the Viscounts of Orleans and Coaunts of Gatinais of the 7th and 8th centuries, they became the ruling family of England for over three hundred years through the marriage of GEOFFREY PLANTAGENETto Matilda, daughter of Henry I and granddaughter of William the Conqueror.
In one story, mentioned by Timothy Baker, one of the Counts had brought home a strange bride who was reported to rarely attend mass and when she did, left before the consecration.When four knights stood on her cloak to detain her, she tore free and broke through a window to escape.As a result she was reputed to have been Melusine, Satan's daughter.This story is often used as an explanation for the quick tempers and violent rages of many of the Plantagenet Kings.So much so that Richard I (The Lionhearted) is reputed to have said that it was no wonder that sons of such stock should fight among themselves.Baker does not give the name of the angevin Count of the story, but one has to wonder, based on the similarity of names whether it referred to Fulk V who was married to Melesend, Queen of Jerusalem.If such was the case, the lady in question would have had no influence on the matter since Geoffrey's mother was in fact Fulk V's first wife, Ermangarde du Maine.

Individuals : Henry I "Beauclerc" of ENGLAND
Henry I (c. 1068 - 1 December 1135), also known as Henry Beauclerc, was King of England from 1100 to his death. Henry was the fourth son of William the Conqueror and was educated in Latin and the liberal arts. On William's death in 1087, Henry's elder brothers Robert Curthose and William Rufus inherited Normandy and England, respectively, but Henry was left landless. Henry purchased the County of Cotentin in western Normandy from Robert, but William and Robert deposed him in 1091. Henry gradually rebuilt his power base in the Cotentin and allied himself with William against Robert. Henry was present when William died in a hunting accident in 1100, and he seized the English throne, promising at his coronation to correct many of William's less popular policies. Henry married Matilda of Scotland but continued to have a large number of mistresses by whom he had many illegitimate children.
Robert, who invaded in 1101, disputed Henry's control of England; this military campaign ended in a negotiated settlement that confirmed Henry as king. The peace was short-lived, and Henry invaded the Duchy of Normandy in 1105 and 1106, finally defeating Robert at the Battle of Tinchebray. Henry kept Robert imprisoned for the rest of his life. Henry's control of Normandy was challenged by Louis VI of France, Baldwin VII of Flanders and Fulk V of Anjou, who promoted the rival claims of Robert's son, William Clito, and supported a major rebellion in the Duchy between 1116 and 1119. Following Henry's victory at the Battle of Brémule, a favourable peace settlement was agreed with Louis in 1120.
Considered by contemporaries to be a harsh but effective ruler, Henry skilfully manipulated the barons in England and Normandy. In England, he drew on the existing Anglo-Saxon system of justice, local government and taxation, but also strengthened it with additional institutions, including the royal exchequer and itinerant justices. Normandy was also governed through a growing system of justices and an exchequer. Many of the officials who ran Henry's system were "new men" of obscure backgrounds rather than from families of high status, who rose through the ranks as administrators. Henry encouraged ecclesiastical reform, but became embroiled in a serious dispute in 1101 with Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, which was resolved through a compromise solution in 1105. He supported the Cluniac order and played a major role in the selection of the senior clergy in England and Normandy.
Henry's only legitimate son and heir, William Adelin, drowned in the White Ship disaster of 1120, throwing the royal succession into doubt. Henry took a second wife, Adeliza, in the hope of having another son, but their marriage was childless. In response to this, Henry declared his daughter, Matilda, his heir and married her to Geoffrey of Anjou. The relationship between Henry and the couple became strained, and fighting broke out along the border with Anjou. Henry died on 1 December 1135 after a week of illness. Despite his plans for Matilda, the King was succeeded by his nephew, Stephen of Blois, resulting in a period of civil war known as the Anarchy.

Individuals : Henry I "Beauclerc" of ENGLAND
Cause of Death: Food poisoning
Burial: Reading Abbey, Berkshire, England
Henry I was the fourth and most capable son of William the Conqueror and
Matilda, born 1068, and nicknamed "Beauclerc" (fine scholar) for his
above average education. He married Eadgyth (who later took the name
Matilda), daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland, who bore him two sons and
a daughter. One son died very early, and the other, William, died in the
wreck of the White Ship in November 1120, leaving the daughter, Matilda,
as the sole heir. Eadgyth died in 1118, and Henry married Adelaide of
Louvain, but the union produced no offspring. Henry also had two fairly
significant illegitimate children - Robert de Mellent, Earl of
Gloucester, and Sibylla, wife of the Scottish King Alexander I. Henry's
was the longest reign of the Norman line, lasting thirty-five years.
The first years of Henry's reign were concerned with subduing Normandy.
His father divided his kingdoms between Henry's older brothers, leaving
England to William and Normandy to Robert. Henry inherited no land, but
received £5000 in silver. He played both sides in his brothers' quarrel,
leading both to distrust Henry, and sign a mutual accession treaty
barring their brother from the crown. Henry's hope arose when Robert went
on the First Crusade; should William die, Henry would be the obvious
choice. Henry was in the woods hunting on the morning of William's death,
August 2, 1100. He moved quickly and was crowned king on August 5, his
coronation charter denouncing William's oppressive policies and promising
good government. Robert returned to Normandy a few weeks later, but
escaped final defeat until 1106, at the Battle of Tinchebrai. Robert was
captured and lived the remaining twenty-eight years of his life as
Henry's prisoner.
Henry was drawn into controversy with the Church over the lay investiture
issue - the practice of selling clergy appoints by the king to gain
revenue, heavily opposed by Gregorian reformers in the Church. He ignored
the situation until he was threatened with excommunication by Pope
Paschal II in 1105, reaching a compromise with the papacy: he would
officially denounce lay investiture, but prelates were to continue to do
homage for their fiefs. In practice, it changed little - the king still
had the deciding voice in appointing ecclesiastical offices - but it a
marked a point when kingship was viewed as purely secular, and
subservient to the Church.
A solution to the lay investiture controversy and conquest of Normandy
were accomplished in 1106, allowing Henry to expand his power. Henry
mixed generosity with violence in motivating allegiance to the crown,
appointing loyal and gifted men to administrative positions. Roger of
Salisbury, the most famous of Henry's servants, was instrumental in
organizing a department for collection of royal revenues, the Exchequer.
The Exchequer quickly gained notoriety for sending out court officials to
judge local financial disputes, weakening the feudal courts controlled by
local lords, and won the title "Lion of Justice".
The final years of his reign were concentrated on war with France, and
succession concerns upon the death of his son William in 1120. The
marriage to Adelaide was fruitless, leaving Matilda his only surviving
legitimate heir. She was recalled to Henry's court in 1125 after the
death of her husband, Emperor Henry V of Germany; Henry forced the barons
to swear they would accept Matilda as Queen upon Henry's death. She was
then forced to marry the sixteen-year-old Geoffrey of Anjou (founder of
the Plantagent dynasty) in 1128 to continue the Angevin alliance. The
marriage was unpopular with the Norman barons, but Matilda and Geoffrey
produced a male heir, prompting Henry to force another oath from the
barons in support of Matilda.
In summer 1135, Henry refused to give custody of certain key Norman
castles to Geoffrey, as a show of good will, and the pair entered into
war. Henry's life ended in this sorry state of affairs - war with his
son-in-law - in December 1135.

Individuals : Henry de NEWBURGH
Notes for *Henry de Newburgh:
When Henry obtained Earldom is not exactly ascertained, but Sir William Dugdale presumes the period to be toward the close of the Conqueror's reign (1087) "for then" saith he, "King William, having begirt Warwick with the mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and erected the dates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the Earldom, and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at the time belonged to the crown."
But though Henry de Newburgh was named Earl of Warwick by the first Norman sovereign, he was not invested with all the lands attached to the Earldom until the ensuing reign, as we find William Rufus, soon after his accession to the throne, conferring upon him the whole inheritance of Turchil de Warwick, a Saxon, who at the the coming of Duke William, had the reputation of Earl; and thenceforth the "bear and ragged staff",the device of Turchil's family, derived from the chivalrous Guy, Earl of Warwick, was assumed by the first of the Newburgh dynasty; and it has been continued ever since as a badge of the successive Earls of Warwick.
The name of this Henry, Earl of Warwick, appears as a witness to the carter of Kind Henry I whereby that prince confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor, also granted many other immunities to the clergy and laity.
Earl Henry commenced imparking Wedgenock, near his castle of Warwick, following the example of his sovereign, King Henry, who made the first park that had ever been in England, at Woodstock.His Lordship, who was asmemorable for pious foundations as distinguished for military achievements died in 1123.His Lordship married Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count de Moreton. Had issue of two daughters, not mentioned, and five sons.
