Henry I of England was between 66 and 67 years old at the time of his death.
How Old is Henry the First?
Henry I, also known as Henry Beauclerc, was born around 1068 and died on December 1, 1135. Due to the approximate nature of his birth year, his exact age at death is typically given as a range.
Key Dates for Henry I
To understand Henry I's age, consider the following essential dates:
| Event | Date | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Born | c. 1068 | Possibly Selby, Yorkshire, England |
| Died | 1 December 1135 | Saint-Denis-en-Lyons, Normandy, France |
| Age | 66–67 years old | At the time of his death |
This range accounts for the fact that while his death date is precise, his birth date is only known to be "circa 1068" (around 1068). If he was born early in 1068, he would have already celebrated his 67th birthday by December 1135. If he was born late in 1068 (after December 1st), he would still be 66 years old when he died.
