Nest ferch Rhys

Nest ferch Rhys (c. 1085 – c. 1136) was the daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last King of Deheubarth in Wales, by his wife, Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn of Powys. Her family is of the House of Dinefwr. Nest was the wife of Gerald de Windsor (c. 1075 – 1135), Constable of Pembroke Castle and son of the Constable of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, by whom she was the ancestress of the FitzGerald dynasty.

Nest had two younger brothers, Gruffydd ap Rhys and Hywel, and, possibly, an older sister named Marared, as well as several older illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters. After their father's death in battle in 1093, "the Kingdom of the Britons fell" and was overrun by Normans. Nest's younger brother Gruffydd was spirited into Ireland for safety; their brother Hywel may have been captured by Arnulf de Montgomery, along with their mother, unless, as appears likelier, their mother was captured with Nest; their fate is unknown. Two older brothers, illegitimate sons of Rhys, one of them named Goronwy, were captured and executed.

Henry I of England

Henrik I. Angleški, angleški kralj, * okoli 1068/1069, Selby, Yorkshire, † 1. december 1135, Saint-Denis-en-Lyons, Normandija.

Henrik je bil četrti sin Viljema Osvajalca. Nasledil je svojega brata, Viljema II. kot angleški kralj leta 1100 in premagal svojega najstarejšega brata, Roberta Curthosa, da je postal Normanski vojvoda.

Njegovo vladanje je znano po političnem oportunizmu. Njegovo nasledstvo je bilo potrjeno, ko se je njegov brat Robert bojeval v 1. križarski vojni. Začetek njegovega vladanja so zaznamovali boji proti njegovemu bratu Robertu za prevlado v Angliji in Normandiji.
