Both those guesses are equally close to the actual figure, so whoever can do maths the quickest is in pole position here.....

No, sorry. Henry died in France in 1135 and was buried in Reading.

Have to love this General Knowledge quiz. That's narrowing it down to the right answer but hadn't heard of the guy before the question was asked. Wonder who'll come up with the answer?!

I didn't know who he was (i.e. the connection with William I), although I had vaguely heard of the name by which he's known. I've probably seen his tomb - which isn't in Cardiff or even in Wales, just to muddy the waters a little more!
