HENRY (c. 1174–1216) , See also:emperor of Romania, or See also:Constantinople, was a younger son of See also:Baldwin, See also:count of See also:Flanders and See also:Hainaut (d. 1195). Having joined the See also:Fourth Crusade about 1201, he distinguished himself at the See also:siege of Constantinople in 1204 and elsewhere, and soon became prominent among the princes of the new Latin See also:empire of Constantinople. When his See also:brother, the emperor Baldwin I., was captured at the See also:battle of See also:Adrianople in See also:April 1205, Henry was chosen See also:regent of the empire, succeeding to the See also:throne when the See also:news of Baldwin's See also:death arrived. He was crowned on the loth of See also:August 1205. Henry was a See also:wise ruler, whose reign was largely passed in successful struggles with the Bulgarians and with his See also:rival, See also:Theodore See also:Lascaris I., emperor of See also:Nicaea. Henry appears to have been brave but not cruel, and tolerant but not weak; possessing " the See also:superior courage to oppose, in a superstitious See also:age, the See also:pride and avarice of the See also:clergy." The emperor died, poisoned, it is said, by his See also:Greek wife, on the 11th of See also:June 1216.

See also:Bury, 1898).he traded upon the pecuniary needs of See also:Duke See also:Robert of See also:Normandy, from whom he See also:purchased, for the small sum of £3000, the See also:district of the Cotentin. He negotiated with See also:Rufus to obtain the See also:possession of their See also:mother's See also:inheritance, but only incurred thereby the suspicions of the duke, who threw him into See also:prison. In 1090 the See also:prince vindicated his See also:loyalty by suppressing, on Robert's behalf, a revolt of the citizens of See also:Rouen which Rufus had fomented. But when his See also:elder See also:brothers were reconciled in' the next See also:year they combined to evict Henry from the Cotentin. He dissembled his resentment for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

king in making See also:war on their elder brother Robert. When Robert's departure for the First Crusade See also:left Normandy in the hands of Rufus (1096) Henry took service under the latter, and he was in the royal See also:hunting See also:train on the See also:day of Rufus's death (August 2nd, 1100). Had Robert been ih Normandy the claim of Henry to the See also:English See also:crown might have been effectually opposed. But Robert only returned to the duchy a See also:month after Henry's See also:coronation. In the meantime the new king, by issuing his famous See also:charter, by recalling See also:Anselm, and by choosing the Anglo-Scottish princess Edith-See also:Matilda, daughter of See also:Malcolm III., king of the Scots, as his future See also:queen, had cemented that See also:alliance with the See also:- CHURCH

church and with the native English which was the See also:foundation of his greatness. Anselm preached in his favour, English levies marched under the royal banner both to repel Robert's invasion (I rot) and to crush the revolt of the Montgomeries headed by Robert of Hellenic (1102). The alliance of crown and church was subsequently imperilled by the question of Investitures (1103–1106). Henry was sharply criticized for his ingratitude to Anselm (q.v.), in spite of the marked respect which he showed to the See also:archbishop. At this juncture a See also:sentence of See also:excommunication would have been a dangerous See also:blow to Henry's See also:power in See also:England. But the king's See also:diplomatic skill enabled him to satisfy the church without surrendering any rights of consequence (1106); and he skilfully threw the blame of his previous conduct upon his counsellor, Robert of Meulan. Although the See also:Peterborough See also:Chronicle accuses Henry of oppression in his See also:early years, the nation soon learned to regard him with respect. See also:- WILLIAM

William of See also:Malmesbury, about 1125, already treats Tinchebrai (1xo6) as an English victory and the revenge for See also:Hastings. Henry was disliked but feared by the baronage, towards whom he showed See also:gross See also:bad faith in his disregard of his coronation promises. In x x Io he banished the more conspicuous malcontents, and from that date was safe against the plots of his English feudatories.
With Normandy he had more trouble, and the military skill which he had displayed at Tinchebrai was more than once put to the test against See also:Norman rebels. His Norman, like his English See also:administration, was popular with the non-feudal classes, but doubtless oppressive towards the barons. The latter had abandoned the cause of Duke Robert, who remained a prisoner in England till his death (1134); but they embraced that of Robert's son William the Clito, whom Henry in a See also:fit of generosity had allowed to go See also:free after Tinchebrai. The Norman conspiracies of 1112, 1118, and 1123–24 were all formed in the Clito's See also:interest. Both See also:France and See also:Anjou supported this pre-See also:tender's cause from time to time; he was always a See also:thorn in Henry's See also:side till his untimely death at See also:Alost (1128), but more especially after the See also:catastrophe of the See also:- WHITE

White See also:Ship (112c) deprived the king of his only lawful son. But Henry emerged from these complications with enhanced See also:prestige. His See also:campaigns had been uneventful, his See also:chief victory (Bremule, 1119) was little more than a skirmish. But he had held his own as a See also:general, and as a diplomatist he had shown surpassing skill. The chief triumphs of his See also:foreign policy were the See also:marriage of his daughter Matilda to the emperor Henry V.
