Henry of Huntingdon (c. 1088 – c. 1157), the son of a canon in the diocese of Lincoln, was a 12th-century English historian, the author of a history of England, the Historia Anglorum, "the most important Anglo-Norman historian to emerge from the secular clergy". He served as archdeacon of Huntingdon. The few details of Henry's life that are known originated from his own works and from a number of official records. He was brought up in the wealthy court of Robert Bloet of Lincoln, who became his patron.
At the request of Bloet's successor, Alexander of Lincoln, Henry began to write his Historia Anglorum, first published around 1129, an account of the history of England from its beginnings up to the year 1154.
Life
Henry was born in about 1088 and died about 1157. He succeeded his father Nicholas as archdeacon Diocese of Lincoln in 1110. No personal correspondence or anecdotes survived him and it seemed that no one considered him important enough to have written a memorial. His biography depends upon a few notices scattered through his own work and in a few places where he left his name in the course of his official duties. The identity of his mother is unknown. His father Nicholas, the first archdeacon of Huntingdon, was a clerk in holy orders, who had enough influence with the Bishop of Lincoln to secure the succession of his title for his son, a substantial inheritance for a man who had not yet reached thirty. Nicholas was canon of Lincoln for over thirty years until his death in 1110.
Huntingdon was founded by the Anglo-Saxons and Danes. Mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, it seems that it was a staging post for Danish raids outside of east Anglia until 917, when the Danes relocated to Tempsford, before being crushed by Edward the Elder. It prospered successively as a bridging point of the River Great Ouse, as a market town, and in the 18th and 19th centuries as a coaching centre, most notably The George Hotel. The town has a well-preserved medieval bridge that used to serve as the main route of Ermine Street over the river. The bridge only ceased to be the sole crossing point to Godmanchester in 1975, with the advent of what is now the A14bypass.
Huntingdon, also known as The Meadow, is a historic plantation home located near Boyce, Clarke County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1830, and is a two-story, five bay, stone I-house dwelling with a gable roof. A rear ell was added around 1850, making a "T"-shaped house. Also on the property are a contributing pyramidal roofed mid-19th-century smokehouse and a stone-lined ice pit with a late 19th-century, square-notched log icehouse.

Is The Anglo-Saxon Invasion Of England A Myth? | King Arthur's Britain | Chronicle
The Anglo-Saxons have been long thought to have invaded Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire in 410 AD. Francis Pryor argues that the huge political changes that took place in Britain at the time were caused by a shifting of allegiances within this country rather than a violent invasion from elsewhere. Finding new and previously unexplained evidence Francis overturns the idea that Britain was crushed under Roman rule, then reverted to a state of anarchy and disorder after the Romans left in 410 AD. Instead of doom and gloom Francis discovers a continuous culture that assimilated influences from as far a field as the Middle East and Constantinople.

The Execution Of Margaret Pole - The Plantagenet Threat To Henry VIII
During the reign of King Henry VIII its estimated that around 70,000 people were executed inside of his Kingdom. This puts the figure at roughly 3% of the population of Tudor England meeting their ends in bloody ways. There were a number of incredibly high profile people executed by Henry including two of his wives, his closest friends and also his advisors. He tried to also eliminate any possibly threats to his throne that may have existed, and one woman who met an incredibly bloody fate inside the walls of the Tower of London was Margaret Pole, the Countess of Salisbury. Even despite being executed at the age of 67, Henry deemed her as a threat due to her links to the House of York.

Interestingly Henry even had a number of illegitimate children, with one Henry Fitzroy even being considered as his successor. Fitzroy’s mother Bessie Blount was a lady in waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. However she later gave birth to Henry Fitzroy, and Henry even considered marrying his illegitimate son to his own daughter Mary I to solidify his claim to the throne.
The thing with Henry VIII is that for many women at court, when the King wished for them to become their mistress, very few refused. Anne Boleyn was one of the very few who resisted and insisted that the King should make her his Queen before they got intimate. Many women at court saw it as their duty to become the King’s mistress, as it was deemed to help their families status out, and they wished to get grants of land and other benefits. One Lady who’s surrounded in scandal, especially with regards to her conduct with the King was Anne Stafford, the Countess of Huntingdon.

That’s what’s in store for you today on History Calling as we look at the death and burial of Henry I; a King who suffered one of the more famous royal deaths in history after supposedly overindulging in a surfeit of lampreys and whose corpse managed to kill a man!

I’ll explain why the burial was delayed for several weeks and what this meant for the corpse and tell you what the King wanted done with his body as well as the extent to which his wishes were carried out. Finally we’ll look at what happened to Henry I’s grave in Reading at the time of the Reformation in the 16th century. Get comfy and put any food you’re eating to one side; this is a story involving lots of gore and which provides a cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t delay burying a body for weeks on end.

With Anne Boleyn’s downfall, the King’s eye had shifted towards Jane Seymour and he hoped she could provide him with the male heir that Anne could not. Interestingly Henry even had a number of illegitimate children, with one Henry Fitzroy even being considered as his successor. Fitzroy’s mother Bessie Blount was a lady in waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. However she later gave birth to Henry Fitzroy, and Henry even considered marrying his illegitimate son to his own daughter Mary I to solidify his claim to the throne.
The thing with Henry VIII is that for many women at court, when the King wished for them to become their mistress, very few refused. Anne Boleyn was one of the very few who resisted and insisted that the King should make her his Queen before they got intimate. Many women at court saw it as their duty to become the King’s mistress, as it was deemed to help their families status out, and they wished to get grants of land and other benefits. One Lady who’s surrounded in scandal, especially with regards to her conduct with the King was Anne Stafford, the Countess of Huntingdon.
A BIZARRE cause of death & a GRUESOME dead body story. That’s what’s in store for you today on History Calling as we look at the death and burial of Henry I; a King who suffered one of the more famous royal deaths in history after supposedly overindulging in a surfeit of lampreys and whose corpse managed to kill a man! If you’d like to hear one of history’s many strange stories about royal bodies, never fear, you’re in the right place with this English royal history documentary.
After looking at how Henry I died in 1135, what killed the King and whether the lamprey story is really true, we’ll also learn how bodies were prepared for burial in medieval times, especially the bodies of royalty (prepare for more gruesomeness) and at where different parts of the King were buried, as not all of him was interred in the same place or even in the same country. I’ll explain why the burial was delayed for several weeks and what this meant for the corpse and tell you what the King wanted done with his body as well as the extent to which his wishes were carried out. Finally we’ll look at what happened to Henry I’s grave in Reading at the time of the Reformation in the 16th century. Get comfy and put any food you’re eating to one side; this is a story involving lots of gore and which provides a cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t delay burying a body for weeks on end.

The Anglo-Saxons have been long thought to have invaded Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire in 410 AD. Francis Pryor argues that the huge political changes that took place in Britain at the time were caused by a shifting of allegiances within this country rather than a violent invasion from elsewhere. Finding new and previously unexplained evidence Francis overturns the idea that Britain was crushed under Roman rule, then reverted to a state of anarchy and disorder after the Romans left in 410 AD. Instead of doom and gloom Francis discovers a continuous culture that assimilated influences from as far a field as the Middle East and Constantinople.

King Henry VIII is most famous for going through 6 wives. But the king was by no means a serial monogamist. Here are the stories of the women known to have warmed the thoughts and the bed of Henry VIII.
A note on imagery: As these women are not as well known, though just as fascinating, as Henry's wives they have fewer and in some cases no known portraits. As this is a visual medium I have taken creative liberty and used similar images in some cases.

During the reign of King Henry VIII its estimated that around 70,000 people were executed inside of his Kingdom. This puts the figure at roughly 3% of the population of Tudor England meeting their ends in bloody ways. There were a number of incredibly high profile people executed by Henry including two of his wives, his closest friends and also his advisors. He tried to also eliminate any possibly threats to his throne that may have existed, and one woman who met an incredibly bloody fate inside the walls of the Tower of London was Margaret Pole, the Countess of Salisbury. Even despite being executed at the age of 67, Henry deemed her as a threat due to her links to the House of York.
Henry of Huntingdon (c. 1088 – c. 1157), the son of a canon in the diocese of Lincoln, was a 12th-century English historian, the author of a history of England, the Historia Anglorum, "the most important Anglo-Norman historian to emerge from the secular clergy". He served as archdeacon of Huntingdon. The few details of Henry's life that are known originated from his own works and from a number of official records. He was brought up in the wealthy court of Robert Bloet of Lincoln, who became his patron.
At the request of Bloet's successor, Alexander of Lincoln, Henry began to write his Historia Anglorum, first published around 1129, an account of the history of England from its beginnings up to the year 1154.
Life
Henry was born in about 1088 and died about 1157. He succeeded his father Nicholas as archdeacon Diocese of Lincoln in 1110. No personal correspondence or anecdotes survived him and it seemed that no one considered him important enough to have written a memorial. His biography depends upon a few notices scattered through his own work and in a few places where he left his name in the course of his official duties. The identity of his mother is unknown. His father Nicholas, the first archdeacon of Huntingdon, was a clerk in holy orders, who had enough influence with the Bishop of Lincoln to secure the succession of his title for his son, a substantial inheritance for a man who had not yet reached thirty. Nicholas was canon of Lincoln for over thirty years until his death in 1110.
