Henry Berengar

Henry Berengar

Henry Berengar (d.c.1150) was the eldest legitimate son of Conrad III of Germany and his second wife Gertrude von Sulzbach.

He is sometimes numbered as Henry VI, the numeral he would have had had he succeeded to the kingship in full. He was named after his father's maternal grandfather, the Emperor Henry IV, and his mother's father, Count Berengar II of Sulzbach.

Conrad named Henry as co-king in March 1147 and had him crowned on 30 March in Aachen. Henry was groomed for the succession. In letters to the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Comnenus and the Empress Irene, Gertrude's sister, he was thus declared the winning general of the Battle of Flochberg (1150) against Welf VI and Welf VII. Henry died in that year and was buried at the monastery of Lorsch.
