That they can loan me? The only two books I can find on Amazon are more then I really want to pay. Please PM me if you do, thanks!

Don't have one on Henry I in my collection. I'll make a list of what I have and PM it to you.

If you can put up with old but free here are links to a couple at the Internet Archive:

and I am sure you will find more there.

For unknown reasons I have been reading Samuel Gardiner's book for students and (unlike Simon Schama) he gives a whole chapter to Henry I with a bibliography. As Gardiner's book was written well over a century ago, his sources are old (and therefore likely to be free), I can go back and look them up for you if you would like.

Ah thanks, but I don't like reading ebooks, it bothers my eyes too much.

You might like to try this link from the ODNB on Henry 1. It is quite an extensive summary of his life and there is a list of sources at the end which may help:

Thanks for the help everyone, but I guess I'm going to have shell out the money for the cheapest of the two when I'm ready.
