    Henry I had 20 or 21 bastard children re: N.E.Hist.Gen.Register 4/1965, pp.95-96. His form of government was "severe and grasping; but he `kept good peace' and honorably distinguished himself among contemporary statesmen in an age when administrative
    reform was in the air. He spent more time in Normandy than in England. But he showed admirable judgment in
    his choice of subordinates...." -Encyclopedia Britannica (1956 Ed., 11:432). He was King of England, 1100-35, and Duke of Normandy (1106-35); his coronation at Westminster Abbey was on Sunday, 08-05-1100. Thomas B. Costain offers a popular account of
    his reign in "The Conquering Family" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1949, pp.43-77). The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" described him as the "lion of justice."
