     BIRTH     1108
     DEATH     20 Oct 1139 (aged 30–31), Quedlinburg, Landkreis Harz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany
     Henry the Proud (c. 1108 – 20 October 1139) was the Duke of Bavaria (Henry X, 1126–1139), Duke of Saxony (Henry II, 1137–1139), and Margrave of Tuscany (1137-1139).
     He was the son of Henry the Black, Duke of Bavaria, and Wulfhilde, daughter of Magnus Billung, Duke of Saxony, and thus a member of the Welf family, and, what was quite important, senior heir of the Billung family. His father and mother both died in 1126 (father became a monk shortly before his death), and as his elder brother Conrad had entered the church and died before their parents, Henry became duke of Bavaria. He shared the family possessions in Saxony, Bavaria and Swabia with his younger brother, Welf.
     In 1127 he was married to Gertrude, the only child of Lothair III, Holy Roman Emperor, whose marriage and inheritance Henry's father had been promised as reward for his changing to support Lothair in the royal election of 1125. Gertrude was heir of the properties of three Saxon dynasties: the House of Supplinburg, the Brunones, and the House of Northeim. The couple had only one son, Henry the Lion. After the marriage, Henry took part in the warfare between the king and the Hohenstaufen brothers, Frederick II, Duke of Swabia (who was Henry's brother-in-law, having been married with his sister Judith), and Conrad, Duke of Franconia, afterwards the German king Conrad III. While engaged in this struggle Henry was also occupied in suppressing a rising in Bavaria, led by Frederick, Count of Bogen, during which both duke and count sought to establish their own candidates in the Bishopric of Regensburg. After a war of devastation, Frederick submitted in 1133, and two years later the Hohenstaufen brothers made their peace with Lothair. In 1136, Henry accompanied his father-in-law to Italy, and taking command of one division of the imperial army marched into southern Italy, devastating the land as he went. Having distinguished himself by his military abilities during this campaign, Henry was appointed as margrave of Tuscany and as Lothair's successor in the Duchy of Saxony. He was also given the former properties of Matilda of Tuscany.
     When Lothair died in December 1137, Henry's wealth and position made him a formidable candidate for the German crown, but the same qualities which earned him the cognomen of "the Proud", aroused the jealousy of the princes and so prevented his election. The new king, Conrad III, demanded the imperial insignia which were in Henry's possession, and the duke in return asked for his investiture with the Saxon duchy. But Conrad, who feared his power, refused to assent to this on the pretext that it was unlawful for two duchies to be in one hand. Attempts at a settlement failed, and in July 1138 Henry was deprived of his duchies. In 1139 Henry succeeded in expelling his enemies from Saxony and was preparing to attack Bavaria when he suddenly died in Quedlinburg Abbey. Henry was buried in the Collegiate Church of Königslutter next to his parents-in-law.
     His son was Henry the Lion, who was underage. Henry's duchy of Bavaria was given to Leopold IV, Margrave of Austria, a half-brother of the new king Conrad. Saxony, which he had attempted to hold but was not officially invested with, was given to Albert the Bear, son of the younger daughter of the last Billung duke, Magnus.

     "Heinrich 'the Proud' was born about 1100, the son of Heinrich 'the Black', duke of Bavaria and Wulfhild von Sachsen.

Heinrich's parents both died in 1126 (his father becoming a monk shortly before his death), and as his elder brother Konrad had entered the church and died before their parents, Heinrich became duke of Bavaria. He shared the family possessions in Saxony, Bavaria and Swabia with his younger brother Welf, and became duke of Saxony between 1127 and 1138.
     "On 29 May 1127 he married Gertrud von Supplinburg, the only child of Lothar von Supplinburg, Holy Roman Emperor, duke of Saxony and Richenza von Northeim. She had been promised to him in marriage as reward for his changing to support Lothar in the royal election of 1125. Gertrud was heir to the properties of three Saxon dynasties: the house of Supplinburg, the Brunonen, and the house of Northeim. The couple had only one son, Heinrich, who would be known as Heinrich 'the Lion'.
     "After his marriage, the elder Heinrich took part in the warfare between the king and the Hohenstaufen brothers, Friedrich II, duke of Swabia (who was Heinrich's brother-in-law, having married his sister Judith), and Konrad, duke of Franconia, afterwards the German king Konrad III.

He succeeded his father in 1126 as HEINRICH X "der Stolze" Duke of Bavaria.

Although Emperor Lothar had designated Duke Heinrich as his successor, his less powerful rival Konrad von Staufen was elected King in 1137. Heinrich accepted the result of the election, but demanded enfeoffment with the duchy of Saxony which was refused. Heinrich was outlawed at the diet of Würzburg in Jul 1138 and deprived of the duchy of Bavaria at the diet of Goslar in Dec 1138[413]. Heinrich attacked Saxony in early 1139.

The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Heinricus" as second son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam"[215]. The Continuatio states that Heinrich was older than his brother Leopold, although if this is correct it is unclear why Leopold not Heinrich should have succeeded first as Markgraf. "…Heinricus marchionis Luibaldi filius…" witnessed the charter dated 1132, after 13 Sep, under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz donated property "in pago…Weitereibia…in comitatu Sigefridi comitis de Nuringes" to Mainz cathedral[216]. He was appointed HEINRICH Pfalzgraf von Lothringen in 1140 to replace Otto von Salm Graf von Reineck. He resigned as Pfalzgraf in 1141 when he succeeded his brother in 1141 as HEINRICH II "Jasomirgott" Markgraf of Austria. His uterine half-brother Konrad III King of Germany installed him as HEINRICH XI Duke of Bavaria in 1143, after retaining the duchy in his own hands for more than a year after Heinrich's death[217]. After Duke Heinrich's first wife died, the Welf family renewed its claim to the duchy of Bavaria. Markgraf Heinrich was a candidate for the imperial throne in 1152. He founded Schottenkloster at Vienna in 1155: the Auctarium Sancrucense specify that he was the founder of "Scotorum"[218]. He was deprived of Bavaria in 1156 by Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany, who granted the duchy to the Welf Duke Heinrich "der Löwe" in order to settle the German kings' longstanding dispute with the Welf family[219]. By way of compensation, Heinrich II was invested, jointly with his wife, at Regensburg 8 Sep 1156 with the march of Austria which was elevated to the status of duchy, Heinrich thereby becoming Duke of Austria[220].

The Annalista Saxo names "filiam suam [=Lothar] Gertrudem", when recording her marriage in 1127 to "Bawaie duci Heinrico, ducis Heinrici et Wulfilde Magni ducis filio"[225]. The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1142 of "Marchio Heinricus" and "Gerdrudam, filiam Lotharii imperatoris"[226]. This marriage was agreed as part of the temporary settlement of the dispute between Konrad III King of Germany and the Welf family agreed in 1142[227].

Niketas Choniates names "Alexius, Andronicus et…Isaacius" as the three brothers of Emperor Manuel, stating that Andronikos left daughters "Mariam, Theodoram et Eudociam"[230]. The Annales Mellicenses in 1149 record the marriage of "dux Heinricus, filius Liupaldi marchionis" and "filiam…fratris regis Grecorum Theodora"[231]. It is likely that Theodora, daughter of Andronikos, married Markgraf Heinrich as Andronikos's brother Isaakios is recorded with a daughter named Theodora and his brother Alexios is only recorded as having one child. The marriage was arranged by Konrad III King of Germany, her husband's half-brother, while he was staying with Emperor Manuel I recuperating from ill-health. The marriage took place during a second visit after King Konrad had left Palestine and was on his way home to Germany[232].

     “Konrad III was born in 1093, a younger son of Friedrich I, Herzog von Schwaben and Agnes von Franken, a daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich IV. About 1115 he married Gertrud von Komberg, daughter of Heinrich, Graf von Rothenburg, and Gepa von Mergentheim, and they had a daughter who married Isjaslaw II, grand duke of Kiev. Gertrud died about 1131, and before 1134 Konrad married Gertrud von Sulzbach, daughter of Berengar I, Graf von Sulzbach, and Adelheid von Diessen; they had two sons, Heinrich Berengar and Friedrich IV, neither of whom would have progeny. Konrad also fathered five children by a mistress, Gerberga. The eldest, Sophia, married Konrad von Pfitzingen.
     “Konrad was appointed duke of Franconia by his uncle, Emperor Heinrich V, in 1115. One year later he acted as regent for Germany, together with his elder brother, Friedrich II of Swabia. At the death of Heinrich in 1125, Konrad unsuccessfully supported Friedrich for the kingship of Germany.
     “Elected anti-king of Italy in December 1127 at Nuremberg, in opposition to Lothar von Supplinburg, Konrad acknowledged Lothar as emperor only in 1135. After this he was pardoned and could take possession of his lands again. After Lothar's death in December 1137, Konrad was elected King of the Germans and King of the Romans (the title customarily accorded preparatory to accession as emperor) at Coblenz, on 7 March 1138, in the presence of the papal legate. Konrad was crowned at Aachen six days later and was acknowledged in Bamberg by several princes of southern Germany. As Duke Heinrich X 'the Proud' of Bavaria, son-in-law and heir of Lothar and the most powerful prince in Germany, who had been passed over in the election, refused to do the same, Konrad deprived him of all his territories, giving Saxony to Albrecht 'the Bear', Markgraf von Brandenburg, and Bavaria to Leopold of Austria. Heinrich, however, retained the loyalty of his subjects. The civil war that broke out is considered the first act of the struggle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, which later extended southwards to Italy. After Heinrich X's death in October 1139, the war was continued by his son Heinrich 'the Lion', supported by the Saxons, and by his brother Welf. Konrad, after a long siege, defeated the latter at Weinsberg in December 1140, and in May 1142 a peace agreement was reached in Frankfurt.
     “In the same year Konrad entered Bohemia to reinstate his brother-in-law Wladislaw II as prince. The attempt to do the same with another brother-in-law, the Polish prince Wladislaw II, failed. Bavaria, Saxony and other regions in Germany were in revolt.
     “In 1146 Konrad heard Bernard of Clairvaux preach the Crusade at Speyer, and he agreed to join Louis VII on the Second Crusade. Konrad and his army went overland, via Hungary, causing disruptions in the Byzantine territories they passed through. They arrived at Constantinople by December of 1146, ahead of the French army.
     “Rather than taking the coastal road around Anatolia through Christian-held territory, by which he sent most of his non-combatants, Konrad took his army across Anatolia. On 25 October 1147 they were defeated by the Turks at the battle of Dorylaeum. Konrad and most of the mounted knights escaped, but most of the foot soldiers were killed or captured. The remnants of the German army limped on to Nicaea, where many of the survivors deserted and tried to return home. Konrad and his adherents had to be escorted to Lopadium by the French, where they joined the French army of Louis VII. Konrad fell seriously ill at Ephesus, and was sent to recuperate at Constantinople, where his host the Byzantine emperor Manuel I acted as his personal physician. After recovering, Konrad sailed to Acre, and from there reached Jerusalem. He participated in the ill-fated Siege of Damascus, and after that failure he grew disaffected with his allies. Another attempt to attack Ascalon failed when Konrad's allies failed to appear as promised, and Konrad returned to Germany.
     “In 1150 he and his son and co-king Heinrich Berengar, defeated Welf VI, duke of Spoleto and his son Welf VII at the Battle of Flochberg. Heinrich Berengar died later that year and the succession was thrown open. The Welfs and Hohenstaufen made peace in 1152 and the peaceful succession of one of Konrad's family was secured.
     “Konrad was never crowned emperor and continued to style himself King of the Romans until his death on 15 February 1152. On his deathbed, in the presence of only two witnesses, he named his nephew Friedrich Barbarossa his successor, rather than his own six-year-old son Friedrich, who instead succeeded Barbarossa as duke of Swabia. Friedrich Barbarossa, who had accompanied his uncle on the unfortunate Crusade, forcefully pursued his advantage and was duly elected king in Cologne a few weeks later.”.²

     "KONRAD von Staufen, son of FRIEDRICH I Duke of Swabia [Staufen] & his wife Agnes of Germany (1093-Bamberg 15 Feb 1152, bur Bamberg Cathedral). Duke of Franconia 1116/20. After his older brother's breach with Lothar von Süpplingenburg King of Germany, Konrad was elected anti-king of Germany in Dec 1127 by his supporters in Franconia and Swabia[497]. He sought support in Italy, having himself crowned as king of Italy at Monza in Jun 1128 by the archbishop of Milan in opposition to Pope Honorius II. He was unsuccessful in retaining the lands previously held by Matilda Ctss of Tuscany, to which he had a hereditary claim as nephew of Emperor Heinrich IV, and returned to Germany in 1130[498]. Konrad eventually submitted to Emperor Lothar with his brother in 1135, and took part in the 1136 Italian campaign as imperial standard-bearer[499]. After the death of Emperor Lothar, Adalbero Archbishop of Trier engineered a quick election at Koblenz 7 Mar 1138 without waiting for a formal meeting of the princes, where Konrad was elected as KONRAD III King of Germany. He was crowned at Aachen by the papal legate 13 Mar 1138. His main rival, Heinrich "der Stolze" [Welf] Duke of Bavaria, acknowledged Konrad's election but demanded the duchy of Saxony, which was refused. He was deprived of his duchy of Bavaria and outlawed[500]. King Konrad strengthened his position by enfeoffing close relations with the duchy of Bavaria (his half-brother Leopold IV Markgraf of Austria), the duchy of Lower Lotharingia (his wife's brother-in-law Godefroi de Louvain) and the Rhineland Palatinate (his brother-in-law Hermann von Stahleck). King Konrad sealed an alliance with Byzantium in 1140 by arranging the marriage of his wife's sister with the son of Emperor Ioannes II, although the marriage did not finally take place until 1146 as negotiations were delayed first by the emperor's death and later by additional dowry demands from the Byzantines[501]. The dispute with the Welf family persisted, despite King Konrad's defeat of Duke Welf VI at Weinsberg in 1140 and a temporary settlement achieved in 1142[502]. King Konrad III left Germany in May 1147 on the Second Crusade and reached Constantinople 10 Sep 1147[503]. His army was defeated by the Seljuks near Dorylaeum 25 Oct 1147, but he continued to march southwards together with the French army led by Louis VII King of France. At Ephesus King Konrad was obliged by ill health to return to Constantinople where he remained until Mar 1148[504]. Konrad took part in the unsuccessful attempt to capture Damascus in Jul 1148, but left Acre 8 Sep 1148 for Thessaloniki. He stayed in Constantinople until Feb 1149, after agreeing an alliance with Emperor Manuel I to fight Roger II King of Sicily[505]. Konrad refused, however, to cooperate with the scheme of Louis VII King of France to launch a new crusade aimed at taking vengeance on Byzantium[506]. He died while preparing an expedition against the Sicilians, after naming his nephew Friedrich as his successor, passing over his own infant son. The Annales Veterocellenses record the death "1152 XIV Kal Mar" of "Cuonradus rex" and his burial at Speier[507]. Although Konrad was never crowned emperor at Rome, he used the titles "Romanorum rex Augustus" and "semper Augustus"[508].

On his return, Conrad found Germany in worse confusion.
     "The most significant development of the reign was the renewal of expansion against the Slavs and Scandinavians (chiefly on the initiative of Albert the Bear and Henry the Lion): a regularly authorized German crusade against the Slavs (1147); colonization of eastern Holstein; foundation of Lübeck (1143); conversion of Brandenburg and Pomerania; Albert the Bear began to style himself as the margrave of Brandenburg; Henry the Lion began the creation of a principality east of the Elbe.

     Guigues VII (c. 1125 – 29 July 1162) was the Count of Albon and Grenoble from 1142 until his death. He took the title Dauphin du Viennois.
     Guigues VII was the son of Guigues VI and Marguerite de Mâcon. He inherited when he was considered too young to rule on his own; therefore, his mother acted as regent until 1153.
     In that year Guigues took the reins and immediately set about to avenge his father, who had been killed in 1142 by Humbert III, Comte de Savoie, during the siege of Montmélian. Guigues VII besieged Montmélian a second time, but was driven off by Humbert's forces. Peace was finally achieved with the intervention of Hugues II, the bishop of Grenoble.
     Two years later, on 13 January 1155, Guigues was in Rivoli, near Turin, to recognise the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, for his lands. The emperor in return confirmed the count of Albon in the possession of certain territories his ancestors had acquired through litigation, and granted him a mint at Râme in the Embrunais and the right to coinage in Cézanne.
     Guigues died without male heirs at Vizille in 1162.
     The identity of his wife, whom he married in 1155, is uncertain, other than that she was a kinswoman of Frederick Barbarossa named Beatrice. They had a daughter, Beatrice, who inherited his lands and titles.

The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Albertus comes Mettensis" of "villam Vulferei", recording that after his death "Girardus dux filius eius" cancelled the donation, undated but listed among records of other donations in the late 1020s[903]. "Adelbertus dux et marchio Lotoringie et Iuditta uxor mea ducissa et marchionissa" donated property "villam nostram Mamendorf" to the abbey of St Matthew by charter dated 12 Jun 1037[904]. The testament dated 1037 of "Adalbero…prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis" is witnessed by "Adelberti avunculi nostri marchionis et ducis Lothoringie et Iuditte amicte nostre uxoris sue"[905].
     "m JUDITH, daughter of --- (-27 Jul [1037/38], bur Bourzonville/Busendorf). The Notitiæ Fundationis Monasterii Bosonis-Villæ names "Adalbertus comes marchio et uxor sua Iuditha" as parents of Gerhard, noting that they were both buried in the monastery and in a later passage noting their joint donation dated "1033 pridie Kal Feb"[906]. "Iuta marchionissa Litoringie" donated property "villam nostram Mamendorf" to the abbey of St Matthew by charter dated 1030[907]. "Adelbertus dux et marchio Lotoringie et Iuditta uxor mea ducissa et marchionissa" donated property "villam nostram Mamendorf" to the abbey of St Matthew by charter dated 12 Jun 1037[908]. The testament dated 1037 of "Adalbero…prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis" is witnessed by "Adelberti avunculi nostri marchionis et ducis Lothoringie et Iuditte amicte nostre uxoris sue"[909]. It is not clear from the document whether it was Judith or her husband who was the blood relation of Adalbero. "Avunculus" suggests that Adalbert was Adalbero's maternal uncle. This cannot be correct as Adalbert's brother Gerhard is recorded as having married Siegfried's daughter Eva, who would in that case have been his niece. It appears more likely, therefore, that the relationship was with Judith. "Amita" suggests that Judith was Adalbero´s paternal aunt. However, Siegfried´s birth is estimated to [930/40]. The precise relationship between Judith and Siegfried cannot be ascertained."
