Bibliography
Henri I was born circa 1165, probably in Leuven, in the Landgraviate of Brabant.
Henri I was Duke of Brabant from 1183 to his death, and Duke of Lower Lotharingia from 1190 to his death.
He was installed in 1180 as Duke of Lower Lotharingy, which he held until 1222. He was Duke of Louvain 1183-1198. He returned property to Aachen St Maria, in the presence of "filiis meis Heinrico milite, Alberto clerico", by charter dated September 1185. He was installed as Duke of Brabant in 1191. He agreed to divide "terram de Mussal" if "comes de Dasborc" died without heirs by charter dated 1197. He was one of the leaders of a crusade planned by Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany, arriving in Palestine in mid-1197. He was marching to relieve Jaffa, captured by the Muslims in September 1198, when he heard news of the death of Henri de Champagne, King of Jerusalem. He returned to Acre and took interim charge of the government until the arrival of Amaury de Lusignan, King of Cyprus in January 1198. He recaptured Beirut from the Muslims in October 1197. After the murder of Philipp von Hohenstaufen, King of Germany in 1208, Philippe II "Auguste", King of France promoted the candidacy of Duke Henri for the German throne. Duke Henri joined his son-in-law Emperor Otto IV against France, and was defeated at the battle of Bouvines in 1214. Markgraaf van Antwerpen 1211. [1]
He died on 5 September 1235 in Köln (English: Cologne) in the Kingdom of Germany.[2] He was buried in St. Peter's church in Leuven.
