Edith of Scotland (who changed her name to the more Norman Mathilda). She was considered one of greatest queen consorts ever to sit on the English throne. Her connection to the Saxon kings did much to make Henry popular with his subjects.

After her death, their only son died in the tragedy of the White Ship. He then married Adela of Louvain, but they had no children (she did have them in a subsequent marriage).

He then chose his only remaining legitimate child (he had many bastards) to succeed him. Through her, all monarchs (after Stephen) can name Henry and Edith as their ancestors.
