While he may be King of France, our first Henry finds himself overshadowed at every turn by mighty figures in his kingdom like Odo II of Blois, Geoffrey Martel of Anjou and a young Norman duke called William the Bastard. Despite falling off a horse as many kings do, Henry to his credit got back up again. We will see him hold his own in one of the lowest points of kingly power, ensuring another long-ish reign and the continuation of his dynasty. Will we revive his reputation from the slander of the Norman chroniclers, or will we too condemn him to the proverbial guillotine?
