Henry I brought his nephew, Henry of Blois, from Normandy to take the position of abbot at Glastonbury Abbey. ^[1]

Orders were given to destroy the central tower at Farnham Castle. The castle belonged to Henry, Bishop of Winchester who was the brother of King Stephen.

King Henry II returned to England and visited Henry of Blois, the bishop of Winchester who was dying. He also met with Lord Rhys, the important prince of south Wales. A series of meetings took place during 1171 and 1172 where an agreement was reached whereby Lord Rhys could keep his land and was given the title justiciar of south Wales. ^[2]

Henry of Blois died. ^[3]
