Battle of Tinchebray
09/28/1106 AD defeated
Henry invaded Normandy in the course of an ongoing dynastic dispute with his older brother, Robert.
Most of Robert's army was captured or killed. Robert de Bellême, commanding the Duke's rear guard, led the retreat, saving himself from capture or death. Those captured included
- Duke Robert himself
- Edgar Atheling (uncle of Henry's wife)
- William, Count of Mortain
Most of the prisoners were released, but Robert Curthose and William of Mortain spent the rest of their lives in captivity.
Robert Curthose had a legitimate son, William Clito (1102–1128), whose claims to the duchy of Normandy led to several rebellions which continued through the rest of Henry's reign.
