On August 1, three sons of Henry the Conqueror lived; on August 6, only one survived. On William I Rufus of England died in a hunting accident. According to the treaty between William II and his brother Robert Duke of Normandy, Robert should have succeeded immediately to the throne of England. Since Robert was returning from the First Crusade, Robert's youngest brother Henry Beauclerc compelled the barons to swear fealty to him on August 5. Henry Beauclerc died in his bed that night, which many attributed to divine punishment. On August 6, the English barons recognized Robert as King of England. The Scots, however, recognized their elderly kinsmen Edgar Atheling as King of England. The Scottish claim passed to David I of Scotland in 1125.

  • On August 1, three sons of Henry the Conqueror lived; on August 6, only one survived. On William I Rufus of England died in a hunting accident. According to the treaty between William II and his brother Robert Duke of Normandy, Robert should have succeeded immediately to the throne of England. Since Robert was returning from the First Crusade, Robert's youngest brother Henry Beauclerc compelled the barons to swear fealty to him on August 5. Henry Beauclerc died in his bed that night, which many attributed to divine punishment. On August 6, the English barons recognized Robert as King of England. The Scots, however, recognized their elderly kinsmen Edgar Atheling as King of England. The Scottish claim passed to David I of Scotland in 1125. In 1128, William Clito, son of Robert I of England, died, leaving the House of Normandy without a male heir. Robert I appointed his nephew Theobald of Champagne as his heir to England and Normandy. In 1134, Robert I of England died. Theobald of Champagne and Boulogne now claimed the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of England, but David I, King of the Scots and Earl of Northumbria, insisted that the Papal decree issued to Henry the Conqueror applied only to the House of Normandy. Therefore the King of Scotland was ruler of Scotland and England. David I of Scotland controlled Scotland and Northumbria, while Theobald I controlled England south of the Humber.
