Biography
After the death of his father he became duke of Lower Bavaria together with his brother Otto IV under the tutelage of Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Henry supported Louis against Frederick I and became a candidate for the German crown when Louis considered temporarily his resignation in 1333.
Conflicts with his brother Otto IV (d. 1334) and his cousin Henry XV, Duke of Bavaria on the partition of their lands worsened the relationship between the emperor and Henry XIV, who allied with his father-in-law John I of Bohemia. Some months after the reconciliation with Louis IV in february 1339 Henry died from leprosy and was succeeded by his son John I, Duke of Bavaria.
Marriage
On 12 August, 1328, Henry married Margaret of Bohemia. She was a daughter of John I of Bohemia and Elisabeth I of Bohemia. They had two children:
* John I, Duke of Bavaria (29 November, 1329 - 20 December, 1340).
* Henry of Wittelsbach (1330). Died within the year of his birth.
An illegitimate son named Eberhard is also mentioned in genealogies. Nothing is known of his mother and later life.
