     "Henry I (c. 1170 – 1252), a member of the House of Ascania, was Count of Anhalt from 1212 and the first ruling Anhalt prince from 1218 until his death.
Life
     "He was the oldest son of Count Bernhard of Anhalt by his first wife Brigitte, a daughter of King Canute V of Denmark. Bernhard was enfeoffed with the Duchy of Saxony by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa after the deposition of the Welf duke Henry the Lion in 1180. After his death in 1212, his surviving sons divided his lands according to the laws of the House of Ascania: Henry received the old Ascanian allodial possessions in the Saxon Schwabengau around Ballenstedt, where he established the Principality of Anhalt; while his younger brother Albert inherited the Saxon ducal title and retained several unconnected Eastphalian estates around the towns of Wittenberg and Belzig (later Saxe-Wittenberg) as well as the northern lordship of Lauenburg.
Henry initially was a loyal supporter of the Hohenstaufen heir Frederick II, though later he temporarily switched sides to his Welf rival, Emperor Otto IV, was at feud with the Archbishops of Magdeburg, and campaigned the estates of Nienburg Abbey. From about 1215, he began to style himself "Prince" (princeps, German: Fürst), and by Otto's death in 1218 was officially elevated to that rank attending the Hoftag diets of Emperor Frederick II. From 1220 Henry acted as a guardian for the minor sons of his Ascanian cousin, the late Margrave Albert II of Brandenburg, rivalling with both the Magdeburg archbishop Albert I of Käfernburg and his brother, Duke Albert of Saxony.
     "Henry backed Emperor Frederick II during the rebellion of his son Henry (VII) in 1234 as well as on his Italian campaigns against the Lombard League, participating in the 1238 Siege of Brescia. Back in Germany, he became involved in the conflict between the Magdeburg archbishop Wilbrand von Käfernburg with his Ascanian cousins, the Margraves of Brandenburg, whereby the Nienburg estates were devastated by the troops of Margrave Otto III in 1242. Both sides reconciled in 1245, mediated by Duke Otto I of Brunswick who married his daughter Matilda, a niece of the Brandenburg margraves, off to Prince Henry's eldest son, Henry II.
     "Henry's most famous ministerialis (bondsman) was Eike von Repgow, a Saxon noble from Reppichau, who compiled the Sachsenspiegel, the most important legal code of the German Middle Ages. The prince also was a renowned Minnesänger. At the beginning of the 14th century, five of his Minnelieder (love songs) were copied into the Codex Manesse, an exceptionally beautiful collection. In this source, he is erroneously referred to as "Duke" (Herzog).
Marriage and issue
     "c. 1211 Henry married Irmgard (born c. 1197 – died c. 1244), daughter of the Ludovingian landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia and a second cousin of the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick II through her paternal grandmother Judith of Swabia. They had eleven children:

; Per Genealogics:
     "Heinrich was born about 1170, the eldest son of Bernhard III, Herzog von Sachsen, of the House of Ascania, and Judith of Poland, daughter of Mieszko III 'the Old', duke of Poland. After the death of his father in 1212, in accordance with the rules of the House of Ascania the surviving sons of the late duke divided his lands; Heinrich received Anhalt and Albrecht the duchy of Saxony. Also in 1212 Heinrich was raised to the rank of Fürst (Prince).
     "About 1211 Heinrich married Irmgard von Thüringen, daughter of Hermann I, Landgraf von Thüringen, and his wife Sophie of Bavaria. They had eleven children of whom three sons and three daughters would have progeny.
     "Heinrich's most famous _ministerialis_ (bondsman) was Eike von Repgow of Reppichau, who compiled the _Sachsenspiegel,_ the most important law book and legal code of the German Middle Ages.
     "Heinrich was a famous _Minnesänger_ (troubadour. From the beginning of the 14th century, the Heidelberg _Codex Manesse_ contains five of his _Minnelieder_ (songs).
     "Before his death in 1252, he divided Anhalt between his sons; Heinrich inherited Aschersleben, Bernhard received Bernburg and Siegfried took Zerbst. His other surviving sons Hermann and Magnus were ordained priests."¹¹

     “Ludwig was born about 1090, the son of Ludwig 'der Salier', Graf von Thüringen, and Adelheid von Stade. In 1131 Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg raised him to landgrave of Thuringia, which he ruled until 1140. The title of Landgrave was created especially for him.
     “With his wife Hedwig von Gudensberg, daughter of the Hessian Giso IV, Graf von Gudensberg, and Kunigunde von Bilstein, he had four children of whom Ludwig II, Jutta and Mechtild would have progeny.
     “Through his marriage with Hedwig, and the marriage in 1123 of Hedwig's mother Kunigunde with his younger brother Heinrich Raspe I, Ludwig gained, after the death of Giso in 1122 and Kunigunde about 1137, an extensive inheritance which created the connection of Thuringia with Hessen. This inheritance included the estates of the Gudensberg family (known as the Gisonen for its succession of elder sons called Giso) to the north of Marburg with the stewardship over Hersfeld, and the whole Hessen possessions of Graf Werner IV von Gudensberg. Werner IV, brother of Kunigunde's mother, died in 1121 without surviving progeny, making Hedwig's parents Giso IV and Kunigunde his heirs, in particular of the county of Maden-Gudensberg with the stewardships over Fritzlar, Hassungen and Breitenau, Thus through Hedwig, Ludwig was from 1137 also count of Hessen-Gudensberg.
     “Ludwig's closeness to Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg had promoted Ludwig's elevation to landgrave and with it the rise into princely rank. After the death of Lothar in 1137 Ludwig moved his allegiance to the Hohenstaufen at the beginning of the struggle for power between the Hohenstaufen and the Welfs for the supremacy in the empire.
     “Ludwig died on 12 January 1140, and was buried in the family abbey of Reinhardsbrunn.”.²

The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis records the marriage of "Ludewicus primus langgravius" and "Hedwigim" without giving her origin[152], although it is interesting to note that this text follows the passage which records the death of Ludwig's brother Heinrich. The true family origin of the wife of Landgraf Ludwig is confirmed by the charter dated to [1137/40] under which Arnold Archbishop of Köln confirmed a donation of property "apud Brubach" [Braubach] to Kloster Siegburg by her mother "comitissa quedam Cunigunda…de Bilistein que fuerat uxor Gisonis comitis" and the later confirmation by "domnus Ludewicus comes de Thuringia cum uxore sua, filia predicte Cunigunde"[153]. The primary source which confirms her father´s family as "von Gudensberg" has not yet been identified. It is not known whether the Chronicon Gozecense is correct in stating that Ludwig was Hedwig´s second husband, even if it identifies him incorrectly, but if so no separate indication of his identity has yet been found. Hedwig was heiress of a large part of Hessen. The Annales Pegavienses record the death in 1148 of "Hedewic relicta Loudewicis provincialis comitis"[154]. The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis records the death in 1148 of "Hedewig relicta primi lantgravii" and her burial at Reinhardsbrunn[155]."

     "Richeza of Berg (Czech: Richenza z Bergu; c.?1095 – 27 September 1125) was Duchess of Bohemia from 1111 to 1117 and again from 1120 until 1125, by her marriage with the P?emyslid duke Vladislav I.
     "She was the daughter of the Swabian count Henry I of Berg (d. 1116) and his wife Adelheid of Mochental (d. 1127), a daughter of the Bavarian margrave Diepold II of Vohburg. Adelheid's elder brother, Margrave Diepold III, was a loyal follower of Emperor Henry V; his daughter Adelaide married the Hohenstaufen duke (and later Emperor) Frederick Barbarossa in 1147. Richinza was named after her maternal great-grandmother Richwara, wife of Duke Berthold I of Zähringen.
     "About 1110/1111 Richeza married Vladislav, who ruled the Duchy of Bohemia since 1109; her sister Sophia married another P?emyslid prince, Otto II the Black, in 1114. The third sister, Salomea of Berg (d. 1144), married the Piast duke of Poland, Boles?aw III Wrymouth, in 1115. Richeza and Salomea ensured peace between their Bohemian and Polish husbands.
     "The ducal couple founded the Benedictine monastery of Kladruby in 1115; Richeza also made several donations to Zwiefalten Abbey in her Swabian homelands. Through the intercession of his wife, in 1125 the dying Duke Vladislav I chose his cousin Prince Otto II the Black as his successor. Only the intervention of his mother, the aged queen dowager ?wi?tos?awa (Svatava), changed his mind and Vladislav reconciled with his younger brother Sob?slav.[1]
     "While Sob?slav became duke upon Vladislav's death, the disappointed Richeza had to flee from Bohemia. She wished to retire to Zwiefalten Abbey, however, she died on the way on 27 September 1125. She is buried in Reichenbach Abbey in Bavaria. Her eldest son Vladislav II succeeded to the Prague throne after Duke Sob?slav's death in 1140.
