Heinrich II of Plauen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich II. Von Plauen († after 1482 ) was Burgrave of Meißen and Lord of Plauen and Hartenstein.

Life

He was a son of Heinrich I , royal court judge and burgrave of Meissen. Like his father, Heinrich II only bore the title of Burgrave of Meissen nominally.

In 1466 the town and rule of Plauen were taken from him by the Bohemian King Georg von Poděbrad and enfeoffed to the Saxon Duke Albrecht . As a result, there were armed conflicts in which Heinrich was captured by the Saxon duke. In 1476 he was released on the condition that he renounce both his Vogtland and Bohemian estates.

In 1482, through the mediation of the Bohemian King Vladislav II, an agreement was reached in which Heinrich's son Heinrich III. agreed to renounce all claims in the Vogtland for good and got back the Bohemian possessions of Bečov , Königswart and Hartenstein.

Heinrich II was still alive at this point and died soon afterwards.
