Life
After the death of the father Heinrich VIII. In 1399 Heinrich and his younger stepbrother Ludwig II. Shared the inherited property, whereby Heinrich received Lüben, Ohlau, Nimptsch and half of Haynau , while Ludwig Brieg with Kreuzburg and Konstadt fell to.
Before or shortly after Heinrich's death in 1419/20, his stepbrother Ludwig II inherited the Duchy of Liegnitz from his great-uncle, the then resigned Bishop Wenzel von Liegnitz , on the basis of an overall loan agreement agreed in 1379 and approved by the king . A short time later, Heinrich's sons Ruprecht II, Wenzel III. and Ludwig III. a contract of inheritance with her uncle Ludwig II, which was to secure the entire property of this line. Since the approval of the Bohemian sovereign had not been obtained for this, after Ludwig's death in 1436, who died without male descendants, protracted inheritance disputes occurred, which led to the Liegnitz feudal dispute that lasted until 1469 .
