Henry's coronation as prince was postponed from the death of his father ( 1166 ). He was present with William at Taranto , where the young king awaited his Greek bride. They planned to return via Capua and there invest Henry with his principality, but not far off from the town, Henry came down with a high fever. He was hurried to Salerno and thence to Palermo , but died withing the month. According to legend, he was betrothed to a daughter of Malcolm IV Of Scotland on his deathbed, but this is false. Malcolm had no issue. He was originally buried in the chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene, but was moved by his brother to Monreale , the final resting place of most of his family. |
