France 1031-1060.
Henry attempted to bring the Duchy of Normandy once again under French
control, but was defeated decisively at the Battle of Mortremer. For a
more detailed account of the Battle of Mortremer, see the notes on HUGH
DE GOURNAY III (RIN 6715).

"Henry I king of France from 1026 to 1060, whose reign was marked by
struggles against rebelious vassals.
The son of Robert II the Pious and grandson of Hugh Capet, founder of
the Capetian dynasty, Henry was annointed 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 came to 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 thereafter
usually at war with him -- a notable defeat for the king being that at
Varaville (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."
