Henry Beauclerc...
... aka Henry I King of England (1100 - 1135). There's a memorial to him in Reading's Forbury Park, which I noticed only today. He apparently founded Reading Abbey on 18 June 1121 and was buried beneath the High Altar there on 4 January 1136. I'll blip the whole memorial one day when the light is better. Best view large to see the detail of the lions' faces.
