Chap. VI.—A. D. 1131.1 HENRY I. 69 As every thing in England remained in • • 1131. tjauquiHity, Henry took the opportunity of paying a visit to Normandy, to which he was invited, as well by his affection forthat country, as by his tenderness for his daughter the Empress Matilda, who j. ii.j?. was aj wa y S hi s favourite. Some time after, that princess was delivered of a son, who received the name of Henry ; and the king, further to insure her suc cession, made all the nobility of England and Normandy renew the oath of fealty, which they had already sworn to her* The joy of this event, and the satisfaction which he reaped from his daughter’s company, who bore suc cessively two other sons, made his residence in Nor mandy very agreeable to him ; y and he seemed determined a D H35 I iaSS rema * n ^ er hi s days in that country; when an incursion of the Welch obliged him to think of returning into England. He was f n preparing for the journey, but was seized s ° ec ’ with a sudden illness at St. Dennis le For ment, from eating too plentifully of lampreys, a food which always agreed better with his palate than his con- Death stitution.z He died in the sixty-seventh ’ year of his age, and the thirty-fifth year of his reign ; leaving by will his daughter, Matilda, lieir of all his dominions, without making any mention of her husband Geoffrey, who had given him several causes of displeasure^ and character This prince was one of the most accom- of Henry, plished «that has filled the English throne, and possessed all the great qualities both of body and mind, natural and acquired, which could fit him for the high station to which he attained. His person was manly, his countenance engaging, his eyes clear, serene, and penetrating. The affability of his address encouraged those who might be overawed by the sense of his dignity or of his wisdom ; and though he often indulged his face tious humour, he knew how to temper it with discretion, and ever kept at a distance from all indecent familiarities with his courtiers. His superior eloquence and judgment would have given him an ascendant, even had he been born in a private station; and his personal bravery would have procured him respect, thougn it had been less sup ported by art and policy. By his great progress in litera ture, he acquired the name of Beauclerk, or the Scholar : but his application to those sedentary pursuits abated nothing ot the activity and vigilance of his government; and though the learning of that age was better fitted to corrupt than improve the understanding, his natural good sense preserved itself untainted both from the pedantry and superstition which were then so prevalent among men of letters. His temper was susceptible of the sentiments as well of friendship as of resentment; b and his am bition, though high, might be deemed moderate and reasonable, had not his conduct towards his brother and nephew showed that he was too much disposed to sacrifice to it all the maxims of justice and equity. But the total incapacity of Robert for government afforded his younger brother a reason or pretence for seizing the sceptre both of England and Normandy ; and when violence and usurpa tion are once begun, necessity obliges a prince to continue in the same criminal course, and engages him in measures which his better judgment and sounder principles would otherwise have induced him to reject with warmth and indignation. King Henry was much addicted to women; and his torians mention no less than seven illegitimate sons and six daughters born to him. c Hunting was also one of his favourite amusements; and he exercised great rigour against those who encroached on the royal forests, which were augmented during his reign, d though their number their charge, and were very busy in extending as well as exercising it. They nominated to all vacant benefices, assembled synods, and were anxious to maintain ecclesiastical privileges, which never tould be fully protected without encroachments on the civil power. If there were the least concurrence or opposition, it was always supposed that the civil power was to give way : every deed, w hich had the. least pretence of holding of any thing spiritual, as marriages, testaments, promissory oaths, were brought into the spiritual court, and could not be canvassed before a civil magistrate. These were the established laws of the church ; and where a legate was sent immediately from Rome, he wassure to maintain the papal claims with the utmost rigour: but it was an advantage to the king to have the Archbishop of Canterbury appointed legate, because the connexions of that prelate with the k ingdorn tended to moderate his measures. and extent were already too great. To kill a stag was as criminal as to murder a man: he made all the dogs be mutilated which were kept on the borders of his forests : and he sometimes deprived his subjects of the liberty of hunting on their own lands, or even cutting their own woods. In other respects, he executed justice, and that with rigour; the best maxim which a prince in that age could follow. Stealing was first made capital in this reign : e false coining, which was then a very common crime, and by which the money had been extremely de based, was severely punished by Henry. f Near fifty criminals of this kind were at one time hanged or muti lated ; and though these punishments seem to have been exercised in a manner somewhat arbitrary, they were grateful to the people, more attentive to present advan tages than jealous of general laws. There is a code w hich passes under the name of Henry 1., but the best anti quaries have agreed to think it spurious. It is however a very ancient compilation, and may be useful to instruct us in the manners and customs of the times. We learn from it, that a great distinction was then made between the English and Normans, much to the advantage of the lat ter. g The deadly feuds, and the liberty of private revenge, which had been avowed by the Saxon law’s, were still con tinued, and were not yet wholly illegal . h Among the laws granted on the king’s accession, it is remarkable that the re-union of the civil and ecclesiastical courts, as in the Saxon times, was enacted. 1 But this law, like the articles of his charter, remained without effect, probably from the opposition of Archbishop Anselm. I lenry, on his accession, granted a charter to London, which seems to have been the first step towards render ing that city a corporation. By this charter, the city was empowered to keep the farm of Middlesex at three hun dred pounds a year, to elect its own sheriff and justiciary, and to hold pleas of the crown; and it was exempted from scot, Danegelt, trials by combat, and lodging the king’s retinue. These, with a confirmation of the privi leges of their court of hustings, wardmotes, and common halls, and their liberty of hunting in Middlesex and Sur rey, are the chief articles of this charter.* 1 It is said, 1 that this prince, from indulgence to his tenants, changed the rents of his demesnes, which were formerly paid in kind, into money, which was more easily remitted to the exchequer. But the great scarcity of coin would render that commutation difficult to be executed, while at the same time provisions could not be sent to a distant quarter of the kingdom. This affords a probable reason why the ancient kings of England so frequently changed their place of abode : they carried their court from one place to another, that they might consume upon the spot tne revenue of their several demesnes.
