King Henry I of England is often credited with declaring his foot as the standard for measuring a foot. In the 12th century, he supposedly ordered that a foot be defined based on the length of his own foot, leading to the establishment of the English foot measurement. This standardization was significant for trade and construction, influencing measurements in England and later in other countries.
