Henry XI. (Glogau)
Henry XI. (* around 1429 to 1435; † February 22, 1476 ) was Duke of Glogau and of Crossen and Freystadt from 1469 to 1476 . With him the direct Glogau line of the Silesian Piasts died out .
Life
Henry XI. Parents were Duke Heinrich IX. von Glogau and Hedwig, daughter of Duke Konrad III. from Oels . After the death of his father in 1467, Heinrich, who had no other siblings, inherited his territory. They consisted of the ducal part of Glogau and the sub-duchies of Crossen and Freystadt, which were spun off from this . In addition, he was enfeoffed by the Bohemian (counter) king Matthias Corvinus , who had conquered Silesia in the same year, with the royal share of Glogau, although this had been pledged to the dukes of Teschen since 1384 and Margareta von Cilli , the duke's widow, since 1460 Wladislaus , who reigned over this portion.
On October 11, 1472, Heinrich XI, then over 40 years old, married. with Barbara von Brandenburg , only eight years old , a daughter of Elector Albrecht Achilles . After Heinrich XI. Already four years later died, the Glogau succession dispute was sparked, in which besides Barbara's father the Sagan Duke Johann II. as well as the Bohemian sovereign King Vladislav II. and the ruling king Matthias Corvinus were involved. The war of succession was only settled on September 20, 1482 with the Peace of Kamenz .
