Biographie

H. „der Schwarze“ (der Beiname erst Ende 13. Jahrhundert belegt, ungewiß, ob wegen seiner Haarfarbe oder wegen der schwarzen Tracht des Laienmönches) war anfangs in Italien mit der Verwaltung des Familienbesitzes der Este beschäftigt. Er wurde vorübergehend in die Kämpfe der Welfen gegen →Heinrich IV. verwickelt, hielt aber seit der Aussöhnung 1096 an den salischen Herrschern fest. An dem Italienzug Heinrichs V. 1115 war er beteiligt, der zur Einziehung der mathildischen Erbschaft, die auch einmal von den Welfen beansprucht worden war, zu Gunsten des salischen Hauses führte. Nach dem kinderlosen Tod seines Bruders Welf V. (24.9.1120) wurde er von Kaiser Heinrich V. mit dem Herzogtum Bayern belehnt. 1121 war er auf kaiserlicher Seite an den Verhandlungen von Würzburg und Regensburg beteiligt, die im folgenden Jahr zum Wormser Konkordat führten. Nach dem Tod Heinrichs V. 1125 empfahl sich der staufische Schwiegersohn H.s, Friedrich von Schwaben, als Kandidat für die deutsche Königskrone. Die Wahl fiel jedoch auf den Sachsenherzog →Lothar von Supplinburg; H. wurde offenbar durch die Aussicht auf die Vermählung seines Sohnes →Heinrich „des Stolzen“ mit Gertrud, der Erbtochter Lothars, dazu bestimmt, die Partei des Staufers zu verlassen. Der Pflicht, gegen ihn zu Felde zu ziehen, scheint er sich jedoch durch seinen Eintritt in das Kloster Weingarten¶ 1126 entzogen zu haben.

HEINRICH, son of WELF I Duke of Bavaria & his second wife Judith de Flandre ([1074]-Ravensburg 13 Dec 1126, bur Weingarten). The Annalista Saxo records the death in 1126 of "Heinricus dux Bawarie…filius Welphonis ducis…[et] Iudhitam"[335]. On the death of his father-in-law in 1106, he inherited extensive territories in Saxony around Lüneburg and in the Bardengau[336]. He was appointed to succeed his brother in 1120 as HEINRICH IX "der Schwarze" Duke of Bavaria. He initially supported the candidacy of his son-in-law Friedrich Duke of Swabia to succeed Emperor Heinrich V as King of Germany in 1125, but eventually supported the election of Lothar von Süpplingenberg, presumably on the understanding of his son's marriage to Lothar's only daughter, which took place in 1127[337]. The enmity of the Staufen family which this created was to have far-reaching consequences in Germany for the rest of the century. Duke Heinrich became a monk at Weingarten shortly before his death[338]. The Historia Welforum records that Duke Heinrich became a monk shortly before he died "in castro Ravenspurch"[339]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "12 Dec" of "Henricus dux"[340]. The necrology of Weingarten records the death "Id Dec" of "Heinricus dux et m n c …pater Welfonis, hic sepultus"[341].

The Annalista Saxo names "Wifhildem et Eilicam" as the two daughters of Duke Magnus & his wife, specifying that Wulfhild married "Heinrico duci, filio Welfi ducis senioris de Bawaria"[342]. The Historia Welforum records that Wulfhild died at Altdorf "decimo sexton die post mortem mariti" and was buried "in monasterio sancti Martini"[343]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "29 Dec" of "Wlfhild ducissa"[344]. The necrology of Weingarten records the death "IV Kal Jan" of "Wuolfhildis ducissa hic sepulta"[345].

His father-in-law installed him as administrator of the lands previously held by Matilda of Tuscany, after conceding papal ownership of them in return for a usufruct[347]. His father-in-law invested him as HEINRICH Duke of Saxony in 1137 shortly before his death.

Welf was heavily defeated at Flochberg near Nördlingen in Feb 1150 and reached a peace settlement with King Konrad in 1151[363].

8. ADALBERT (-1144). Abbot of Corvey. The Annalista Saxo records that "Adalbero frater Heinrici ducis" succeeded as Abbot of Corvey in 1138[376]. It is assumed that "Heinrici ducis" refers to Heinrich X [Welf] who was duke of Bavaria and Saxony at that date. Adalbert is unlikely to have been the legitimate son of Duke Heinrich IX as he is not named as such in other sources (see above) which appear to provide an exclusive list of the duke's children by his wife Wulfhild.

Wikipedia: Heinrich IX. (Bayern) aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche Heinrich mit Wulfhild in der Historia Welforum

Heinrich der Schwarze (* 1075; † 13. Dezember 1126 in Ravensburg) war als "Heinrich IX." Herzog von Bayern. Er kam aus dem Haus der Welfen und war ein Sohn Welfs IV. und Bruder Welfs V., nach dessen nachfolgerlosem Tode er 1120 das Herzogtum Bayern übernahm.

Durch seine Ehe mit Wulfhild Billung, der Tochter des letzten Sachsenherzogs Magnus aus dem Hause der Billunger, erlangten die Welfen Besitzungen in Norddeutschland. Die Ehe seiner Tochter Judith mit dem staufischen Herzog Friedrich II. von Schwaben legte den Grundstein für die späteren welfisch-staufischen Konflikte.

Eine besondere Rolle spielte Heinrich der Schwarze bei der Königswahl von 1125. Zunächst förderte er die Kandidatur seines Schwiegersohnes Friedrich II. von Schwaben. Kurz vor dem entscheidenden Wahlgang änderte er jedoch seine Meinung und stimmte für den anderen Kandidaten Herzog Lothar von Sachsen, der dadurch als Lothar III. zum deutschen König gewählt wurde. Diese Meinungsänderung wurde offensichtlich ausgelöst durch das Heiratsversprechen von Lothars Tochter Gertrud mit Heinrichs Sohn Heinrich (der Stolze), das 1127 eingelöst wurde. Die verprellten Staufer riefen danach Friedrichs jüngeren Bruder Konrad zum Gegenkönig aus. Der welfisch-staufische Konflikt nahm seinen Lauf. Familie [Bearbeiten]

Aus der zwischen 1095 und 1100 geschlossenen Ehe mit Wulfhild Billung von Sachsen gingen sieben Kinder hervor:

   * Heinrich der Stolze († 1139), Herzog von Bayern und Sachsen

   * Konrad († 1154), Zisterziensermönch

   * Judith (* nach 1100, † 1130/31) – verheiratet um 1121 mit Friedrich II., Herzog von Schwaben

   * Sophie († um 1145) – verheiratet mit 1. Berthold III. von Zähringen und 2. Markgraf Leopold von Steyr.

   * Mathilde, († 1183) – verheiratet mit 1. Markgraf Diepold IV. von Vohburg (Rapotonen) und 2. Graf Gebhard III. von Sulzbach

   * Welf VI. (* 1115/16, † 1191), Herzog von Spoleto

   * Wulfhild († nach 1160) – verheiratet mit Rudolf Graf von Bregenz

Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry IX (died 13 December 1126), called the Black, a member of the House of Welf, was duke of Bavaria from 1120 to 1126. Henry was the second son of Welf I, Duke of Bavaria and Judith of Flanders. As a young man, he administered the family's property south of the Alps. Through his marriage to Wulfhild, daughter of Magnus, Duke of Saxony, he acquired part of the Billung property in Saxony. In 1116, he joined Emperor Henry V's Italian campaign. He succeeded his brother Welf II, Duke of Bavaria, when the latter died childless in 1120. In the royal election of 1125, he supported his son-in-law Frederick II, Duke of Swabia, but switched his allegiance to Lothair, Duke of Saxony, after Lothair promised that Gertrud, his only daughter and heir, would marry Henry's son Henry. After Lothair won the election and banned Frederick, in 1126 Henry abdicated as duke of Bavaria and retired to the family foundation of Weingarten Abbey so that he did not have to take part in the prosecution of his son-in-law. Henry died shortly thereafter and was buried in Weingarten. Henry and Wulfhild had the following children: Judith, married Frederick II, Duke of Swabia Conrad, died 17 March 1126 Henry X the Proud Welf Sophia, married Berthold III, Duke of Zähringen and Leopold I, Duke of Styria Wulfhild, married Rudolf, Count of Bregenz Mathilde, married Diepold IV, Margrave of Vohburg and Gebhard III, Count of Sulzbach Adalbert, Abbot of Corvey

Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria, (died 13 December 1126), called the Black, a member of the House of Welf, was duke of Bavaria from 1120 to 1126.

Henry was the second son of Welf I, Duke of Bavaria and Judith of Flanders. As a young man, he administered the family's property south of the Alps. Through his marriage to Wulfhild, daughter of Magnus, Duke of Saxony, he acquired part of the Billung property in Saxony.

In 1116, he joined Emperor Henry V's Italian campaign. He succeeded his brother Welf II, Duke of Bavaria, when the latter died childless in 1120.

In the royal election of 1125, he supported his son-in-law Frederick II, Duke of Swabia, but switched his allegiance to Lothair, Duke of Saxony, after Lothair promised that Gertrud, his only daughter and heir, would marry Henry's son Henry.

After Lothair won the election and banned Frederick, in 1126 Henry abdicated as duke of Bavaria and retired to the family foundation of Weingarten Abbey so that he did not have to take part in the prosecution of his son-in-law. Henry died shortly thereafter and was buried in Weingarten.

Henry and Wulfhild had the following children:

Judith, married Frederick II, Duke of Swabia

Conrad, died 17 March 1126

Henry X the Proud
