From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He became Duke of Brabant in 1183/1184 and succeeded his father as Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1190. He was the son of Godfrey III of Leuven, Duke of Lower Lotharingia and landgrave of Brabant, and Margaret of Limburg.

He married Maud of Boulogne, daughter of Marie of Boulogne and Matthew of Alsace 1179. He had six children by his first marriage:

Marie (c. 1190 – May 1260), married in Maastricht after May 19, 1214 Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor, married July 1220 Count William I of Holland

Adelaide (b. c. 1190), married 1206 Arnulf, Count of Loos, married February 3, 1225 William X of Auvergne (c. 1195–1247), married before April 21, 1251 Arnold van Wesemaele (d. aft. 1288)

Under Henry I, there was a town policy and town planning. Henry's attention went out to those regions that lent themselves to the extension of his sovereignty and in some locations he used the creation of a new town as an instrument in the political organisation of the area. Among the towns to which the Duke gave city rights and trade privileges was 's-Hertogenbosch.

He was buried in St. Peter's chapter church at Leuven where you can still see his late romanesque effigy.

Heinrich I. (Brabant)

aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie

Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche

Heinrich I., genannt der Mutige (* um 1165; † 5. September 1235 in Köln) war seit 1179 Graf von Brüssel, seit 1183 Herzog von Brabant, sowie seit 1190 Graf von Löwen, Markgraf von Antwerpen, und Herzog von Niederlothringen. Er war der Sohn von Gottfried III., Graf von Löwen und Brüssel, Landgraf von Brabant, Markgraf von Antwerpen und Herzog von Niederlothringen, und Margarete von Limburg

Sein Vater beteiligte ihn früh an den Regierungsgeschäften des Herzogtums, schon 1172 wurde er – an dessen Seite – als Herzog bezeichnet. 1179 heiratete er Mathilde von Boulogne, eine Nichte Philipps von Elsass, Graf von Flandern, und erhielt zu diesem Anlass von seinem Vater die Grafschaft Brüssel. Er hatte mehrere militärische Auseinandersetzungen mit den Grafen von Hennegau und vertrat seinen Vater, als dieser 1182 bis 1184 im Heiligen Land war. Der Kaiser erhob Brabant 1183 zum Herzogtum. 1185 gründete er ’s-Hertogenbosch. Beim Tod seines Vaters 1190 trat er dessen Nachfolge an.

Schnell fand er sich im Gegensatz zu Kaiser Heinrich VI., zuerst anlässlich der Wahl seines Bruders Albrecht zum Bischof von Lüttich (die Auseinandersetzung führte 1192 zur Ermordung des Bischofs, woraufhin sich Brabant und Hennegau vier Jahre lang der Wahl des Nachfolgers widersetzten), des Weiteren dann wegen des englischen Königs Richard Löwenherz, den Herzog Leopold V. von Österreich gefangen genommen und dem Kaiser ausgeliefert hatte: Heinrich VI. wollte ihn an Philipp II.. August von Frankreich weiterreichen, da er die lothringischen Fürsten als pro-englisch ansah. Richard Löwenherz wurde schließlich gegen ein enormes Lösegeld freigelassen.

Auch er zog mit dem Kreuzzug Heinrichs VI. ins Heilige Land, wo er die Städte Sidon und Beirut für die Christen eroberte, musste aber nach Europa zurückkehren, nachdem Kaiser Heinrich 1197 gestorben war. Seine Ehefrau und er unterstützten in der Nachfolgefrage – so wie die meisten norddeutschen Barone – die Wahl des Welfen Otto IV. (der ein Schwiegersohn Heinrichs war), während die Barone Süddeutschlands sich mehrheitlich für den Staufer Philipp von Schwaben, den Bruder des verstorbenen Kaisers, aussprachen.

1204 wechselte Heinrich von Brabant die Seiten und verbündete sich mit Philipp II. von Frankreich und Philipp von Schwaben gegen den Welfen. Nach dem Mord an Philipp 1208 fand er die Aussöhnung mit Otto IV., an dessen Seite er am 27. Juli 1214 in der Schlacht bei Bouvines kämpfte, wo er fast in Gefangenschaft geraten wäre. Wenig später schloss er ein Bündnis mit Friedrich II., wonach seine Regierung in eine friedlichere Politik mündete.

In den Jahren 1217 bis 1218 nahm Heinrich am Kreuzzug von Damiette nach Ägypten teil.

Friedrich II. schickte ihn nach England, um dessen Verlobte Isabella, Tochter des Königs Johann Ohneland nach Deutschland zu holen. Auf dem Rückweg erkrankte er in Köln und starb. Sein Grab befindet sich in der St. Pieterskirche in Löwen.

Hij was de zoon (uit het 1e huwelijk) en erfopvolger van Godfried III. In zijn beleid streefde hij naar een uitbreiding van zijn heerschappij voor het grondgebied tussen Schelde en Rijn en de beheersing van de handelsweg van Brugge naar Keulen. Hij slaagde er niet in het hertogelijk gezag in Neder-Lotharingen te herstellen. Niettemin wist hij zich een machtspositie te veroveren door in de strijd tussen de Welfen en de Hohenstaufen voortdurend van kamp te wisselen. In 1191 slaagde hij erin zijn broer Albert tot bisschop van Luik te laten kiezen. In 1204 ging hij over naar het kamp van de Hohenstaufen en verkreeg hij van de Duitse koning Filips van Zwaben de voogdij over Nijvel en de erkenning van de erfelijkheid van het hertogdom Brabant, ook in vrouwelijke lijn. Tevens werd hij medeheer van Maastricht.

Bij een van zijn invallen in Luik leed hij bij de slag van Steps een zware nederlaag (13 oktober 1213).

De graaf van Vlaanderen viel Brabant binnen en Hendrik werd ertoe verplicht aan diens zijde te strijden in de Slag bij Bouvines. Na de aldaar opgelopen nederlaag verzoende hij zich onmiddellijk met de overwinnaar, de Franse koning Filips August.

Hendrik I was tweemaal gehuwd: eerst (in 1179?) met Mathilde van Boulogne († 1211), daarna (op 22 april 1213) met Maria van Frankrijk, dochter van koning Filips August.

Volgens de overlevering heeft hertog Hendrik I in 1185 de stad 's-Hertogenbosch gesticht. Zijn praalgraf is te vinden in de Leuvense Sint-Pieterskerk, alsook dat van Mathilde van Boulogne en zijn dochter Maria van Brabant.

According to Wikipedia, Henry I of Brabant (French: Henri I de Brabant, Dutch: Hendrik I van Brabant; 1165 – 5 September 1235), named "The Courageous", was a member of the House of Reginar and first Duke of Brabant from 1183/84 until his death.He was possibly born in Leuven (Louvain), the son of Count Godfrey III of Louvain and his wife Margaret, daughter of Duke Henry II of Limburg. His father also held the title of a Landgrave of Brabant, Duke of Lower Lorraine and margrave of Antwerp. Henry early appeared as a co-ruler of his father. In 1179 he married Matilda of Boulogne (Matilda of Flanders), daughter of Marie of Boulogne and Matthew of Alsace and on this occasion received the County of Brussels from his father. He acted as a regent while Count Godfrey III went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem from 1182 to 1184. In 1183 Henry took the title of a Duke of Brabant. Upon the death of his father in 1190, King Henry VI confirmed the elevation of Brabant, while he de facto abolished the Duchy of Lower Lorraine by creating the empty title of a Duke of Lothier. Duke Henry sought to expand his power and soon picked several quarrels with the Count Baldwin V of Hainaut. He also was in opposition to the German king (Emperor from 1191) when his brother Albert of Louvain was elected Bishop of Liège and murdered shortly afterwards. Further conflicts with Duke Henry III of Limburg and Count Otto I of Guelders followed, before in mid-1197 Henry of Brabant joined the Crusade of Henry VI as one of the leaders. In October of the same year he took part in the recapture of Beirut and, then moved to Jaffa with the Crusaders: however, before reaching the city he got news of the death of the King of Jerusalem, Henry II of Champagne, and he returned to Acre. Here he acted as regent until the arrival of the new King, Amalric II. Back in Germany after the emperor's death in September 1197, Duke Henry supported the election of the Welf candidate Otto IV, the fiancé of his daughter Marie, who rivalled with the Hohenstaufen scion Philip of Swabia. He fought against Philip's seconders Count Dirk VII of Holland and Count Otto of Guelders, however, he switched sides in 1204, when he and King Philip II of France backed Philip against Otto. In 1208, after the assassination of Philip, Henry was proposed as successor by King Philip II. In the war which followed, he finally reached a reconciliation with Emperor Otto IV. Together they fought against King Philip in the 1214 Battle of Bouvines, but the two were defeated. In 1213, Duke Henry also suffered a heavy defeat against the Bishopric of Liège in the Battle of Steppes. From 1217 to 1218 he joined the Fifth Crusade to Egypt.

Grave of duke Henry Under Henry I, there was town policy and town planning. His attention went out to those regions that lent themselves to the extension of his sovereignty and in some locations he used the creation of a new town as an instrument in the political organisation of the area. Among the towns to which the duke gave city rights and trade privileges was 's-Hertogenbosch. In 1235 the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick II appointed Henry to travel to England to bring him his fiancée Isabella Plantagenet, daughter of King John Lackland. Unfortunately, Henry fell ill on his way back and died at Cologne. He was buried in St. Peter's Church at Leuven where his Late Romanesque effigy can still be seen.

Heinrich I. (Brabant)

aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie

Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche

Heinrich I., genannt der Mutige (* um 1165; † 5. September 1235 in Köln) war seit 1179 Graf von Brüssel, seit 1183 Herzog von Brabant, sowie seit 1190 Graf von Löwen, Markgraf von Antwerpen, und Herzog von Niederlothringen. Er war der Sohn von Gottfried III., Graf von Löwen und Brüssel, Landgraf von Brabant, Markgraf von Antwerpen und Herzog von Niederlothringen, und Margarete von Limburg

Sein Vater beteiligte ihn früh an den Regierungsgeschäften des Herzogtums, schon 1172 wurde er – an dessen Seite – als Herzog bezeichnet. 1179 heiratete er Mathilde von Boulogne, eine Nichte Philipps von Elsass, Graf von Flandern, und erhielt zu diesem Anlass von seinem Vater die Grafschaft Brüssel. Er hatte mehrere militärische Auseinandersetzungen mit den Grafen von Hennegau und vertrat seinen Vater, als dieser 1182 bis 1184 im Heiligen Land war. Der Kaiser erhob Brabant 1183 zum Herzogtum. 1185 gründete er ’s-Hertogenbosch. Beim Tod seines Vaters 1190 trat er dessen Nachfolge an.

Schnell fand er sich im Gegensatz zu Kaiser Heinrich VI., zuerst anlässlich der Wahl seines Bruders Albrecht zum Bischof von Lüttich (die Auseinandersetzung führte 1192 zur Ermordung des Bischofs, woraufhin sich Brabant und Hennegau vier Jahre lang der Wahl des Nachfolgers widersetzten), des Weiteren dann wegen des englischen Königs Richard Löwenherz, den Herzog Leopold V. von Österreich gefangen genommen und dem Kaiser ausgeliefert hatte: Heinrich VI. wollte ihn an Philipp II.. August von Frankreich weiterreichen, da er die lothringischen Fürsten als pro-englisch ansah. Richard Löwenherz wurde schließlich gegen ein enormes Lösegeld freigelassen.

Auch er zog mit dem Kreuzzug Heinrichs VI. ins Heilige Land, wo er die Städte Sidon und Beirut für die Christen eroberte, musste aber nach Europa zurückkehren, nachdem Kaiser Heinrich 1197 gestorben war. Seine Ehefrau und er unterstützten in der Nachfolgefrage – so wie die meisten norddeutschen Barone – die Wahl des Welfen Otto IV. (der ein Schwiegersohn Heinrichs war), während die Barone Süddeutschlands sich mehrheitlich für den Staufer Philipp von Schwaben, den Bruder des verstorbenen Kaisers, aussprachen.

1204 wechselte Heinrich von Brabant die Seiten und verbündete sich mit Philipp II. von Frankreich und Philipp von Schwaben gegen den Welfen. Nach dem Mord an Philipp 1208 fand er die Aussöhnung mit Otto IV., an dessen Seite er am 27. Juli 1214 in der Schlacht bei Bouvines kämpfte, wo er fast in Gefangenschaft geraten wäre. Wenig später schloss er ein Bündnis mit Friedrich II., wonach seine Regierung in eine friedlichere Politik mündete.

In den Jahren 1217 bis 1218 nahm Heinrich am Kreuzzug von Damiette nach Ägypten teil.

Friedrich II. schickte ihn nach England, um dessen Verlobte Isabella, Tochter des Königs Johann Ohneland nach Deutschland zu holen. Auf dem Rückweg erkrankte er in Köln und starb. Sein Grab befindet sich in der St. Pieterskirche in Löwen.

Hij was de zoon (uit het 1e huwelijk) en erfopvolger van Godfried III. In zijn beleid streefde hij naar een uitbreiding van zijn heerschappij voor het grondgebied tussen Schelde en Rijn en de beheersing van de handelsweg van Brugge naar Keulen. Hij slaagde er niet in het hertogelijk gezag in Neder-Lotharingen te herstellen. Niettemin wist hij zich een machtspositie te veroveren door in de strijd tussen de Welfen en de Hohenstaufen voortdurend van kamp te wisselen. In 1191 slaagde hij erin zijn broer Albert tot bisschop van Luik te laten kiezen. In 1204 ging hij over naar het kamp van de Hohenstaufen en verkreeg hij van de Duitse koning Filips van Zwaben de voogdij over Nijvel en de erkenning van de erfelijkheid van het hertogdom Brabant, ook in vrouwelijke lijn. Tevens werd hij medeheer van Maastricht.

Bij een van zijn invallen in Luik leed hij bij de slag van Steps een zware nederlaag (13 oktober 1213).

De graaf van Vlaanderen viel Brabant binnen en Hendrik werd ertoe verplicht aan diens zijde te strijden in de Slag bij Bouvines. Na de aldaar opgelopen nederlaag verzoende hij zich onmiddellijk met de overwinnaar, de Franse koning Filips August.

Hendrik I was tweemaal gehuwd: eerst (in 1179?) met Mathilde van Boulogne († 1211), daarna (op 22 april 1213) met Maria van Frankrijk, dochter van koning Filips August.

Volgens de overlevering heeft hertog Hendrik I in 1185 de stad 's-Hertogenbosch gesticht. Zijn praalgraf is te vinden in de Leuvense Sint-Pieterskerk, alsook dat van Mathilde van Boulogne en zijn dochter Maria van Brabant.

According to Wikipedia, Henry I of Brabant (French: Henri I de Brabant, Dutch: Hendrik I van Brabant; 1165 – 5 September 1235), named "The Courageous", was a member of the House of Reginar and first Duke of Brabant from 1183/84 until his death.He was possibly born in Leuven (Louvain), the son of Count Godfrey III of Louvain and his wife Margaret, daughter of Duke Henry II of Limburg. His father also held the title of a Landgrave of Brabant, Duke of Lower Lorraine and margrave of Antwerp. Henry early appeared as a co-ruler of his father. In 1179 he married Matilda of Boulogne (Matilda of Flanders), daughter of Marie of Boulogne and Matthew of Alsace and on this occasion received the County of Brussels from his father. He acted as a regent while Count Godfrey III went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem from 1182 to 1184. In 1183 Henry took the title of a Duke of Brabant. Upon the death of his father in 1190, King Henry VI confirmed the elevation of Brabant, while he de facto abolished the Duchy of Lower Lorraine by creating the empty title of a Duke of Lothier. Duke Henry sought to expand his power and soon picked several quarrels with the Count Baldwin V of Hainaut. He also was in opposition to the German king (Emperor from 1191) when his brother Albert of Louvain was elected Bishop of Liège and murdered shortly afterwards. Further conflicts with Duke Henry III of Limburg and Count Otto I of Guelders followed, before in mid-1197 Henry of Brabant joined the Crusade of Henry VI as one of the leaders. In October of the same year he took part in the recapture of Beirut and, then moved to Jaffa with the Crusaders: however, before reaching the city he got news of the death of the King of Jerusalem, Henry II of Champagne, and he returned to Acre. Here he acted as regent until the arrival of the new King, Amalric II. Back in Germany after the emperor's death in September 1197, Duke Henry supported the election of the Welf candidate Otto IV, the fiancé of his daughter Marie, who rivalled with the Hohenstaufen scion Philip of Swabia. He fought against Philip's seconders Count Dirk VII of Holland and Count Otto of Guelders, however, he switched sides in 1204, when he and King Philip II of France backed Philip against Otto. In 1208, after the assassination of Philip, Henry was proposed as successor by King Philip II. In the war which followed, he finally reached a reconciliation with Emperor Otto IV. Together they fought against King Philip in the 1214 Battle of Bouvines, but the two were defeated. In 1213, Duke Henry also suffered a heavy defeat against the Bishopric of Liège in the Battle of Steppes. From 1217 to 1218 he joined the Fifth Crusade to Egypt.

Grave of duke Henry Under Henry I, there was town policy and town planning. His attention went out to those regions that lent themselves to the extension of his sovereignty and in some locations he used the creation of a new town as an instrument in the political organisation of the area. Among the towns to which the duke gave city rights and trade privileges was 's-Hertogenbosch. In 1235 the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick II appointed Henry to travel to England to bring him his fiancée Isabella Plantagenet, daughter of King John Lackland. Unfortunately, Henry fell ill on his way back and died at Cologne. He was buried in St. Peter's Church at Leuven where his Late Romanesque effigy can still be seen.
