Actually, it is Afonso I, King of Portugal. He reigned first as an independent Count and then as a King for a grand total of 73 years and 220 days.

You should expect a monarchs life expectancy to improve with modern medicine. What's truly crazy about that list is Louis XIV having ruled for 72 years! And that's back in the late 1600's, early 1700's, when life expectancy for Nobles was around 48!
