Heinrich (VI.) (HRR)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich (* 1137 , † 1150 ; actually Heinrich-Berengar ) was the oldest legitimate son of the Roman-German King Conrad III. from the Staufer family . His mother was Gertrud von Sulzbach , a daughter of Count Berengar I - hence the middle name.

Life

Heinrich's father had him elected co-king at a Reichstag in Frankfurt am Main in March 1147 and crowned him on March 30th in Aachen .

Heinrich, who was the sixth king with this name after the Salier king and emperor Heinrich V , was taken over by Konrad III. systematically built up as a successor. In letters to Emperor Manuel of Byzantium and his wife Irene, he was highlighted as the winner of the Battle of Flochberg in 1150. However, the young king died in the same year, two years before his father, and was probably buried in the Lorch monastery.

Since Henry VI was only a fellow king who did not survive his father, posterity has bracketed his Roman six. He is not to be confused with the later Emperor Heinrich VI. The phrase "Heinrich the sixth in brackets" is therefore used.

Heinrich's brother was Friedrich von Rothenburg , Duke of Swabia .
