  Research Notes:

Hendrik’s birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when named for the first time in 1081 (see below). This date is also consistent with the birth of Hendrik’s children in the likely range [1080/95].

Graaf van Limburg. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium names “comes Henricus de Lemburch” among those present at Liège 27 Mar 1081 when the bishop of Liège made peace with Heinrich IV King of Germany. "…Heinricus dux de Lemburg…" subscribed the charter dated 1093 under which "Heinricus…comes palatinus Rheni et dominus de Lacu…uxore mei Adleide" founded the abbey of Laach, although the naming of other witnesses suggests that this charter is spurious. The Annalista Saxo records that "Heinricus comes de Lintburh cum Theoderico comite" rebelled against Emperor Heinrich in 1101, the castle of Limburg being captured and destroyed by imperial forces.

Emperor Heinrich III installed him as HENRI I Duke of Lower Lotharingia in late 1101: the Annalista Saxo records that the emperor celebrated Christmas at Mainz where "Heinricus comes de Lintburh dux effectus est". The Annalista Saxo records that he was deposed as duke in 1106 by Heinrich V King of Germany after rebelling again. Sigebert records that “Heinricus exdux” occupied Aachen in 1107 in opposition to the newly appointed “dux Godefridus”, that “Heinricus cum filiis suis” escaped but that “uxorem eius” was captured.

The Chronicon rythmicum Leodiense records Hendrik’s death in 1119. 1

  Marriage Information:

Hendrik married Adelheid VON BOTENSTEIN, daughter of Gf. Botho VON BOTENSTEIN and Jutta (Judith) VON SCHWEINFURT. (Adelheid VON BOTENSTEIN died after 1107.)
