Notities over Heinrich 'der Vogler' "Henry the Fowler" von Sachsen Graf im Südthuringau, König von Östfrankreich

(Research):Henry I Encyclopædia Britannica Article born c. 876 died July 2, 936, Memleben, Saxony [now in Germany] also called Henry the Fowler , German Heinrich der Vogler German king and founder of the Saxon dynasty (918-1024) who strengthened the East Frankish, or German, army, encouraged the growth of towns, brought Lotharingia (Lorraine) back under German control (925), and secured German borders against pagan incursions. The son of Otto the Illustrious, the Liudolfing duke of Saxony, Henry became duke at his father's death (912). His first marriage, to Hatheburg, daughter of Erwin, count of Merseburg, was declared invalid because she had become a nun after her first husband's death. He married Matilda, daughter of Dietrich, count of Westphalia, in 909; their eldest son would rule as the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great (936-973). Although at war (912-915) with Conrad I of Franconia (German king, 903-918) over title to lands in Thuringia, Henry received Conrad's deathbed designation as heir to the throne. He was elected king of Germany (May 919) by nobles of Saxony and Franconia, two of the four most influential duchies; the other two important duchies, Swabia and Bavaria, did not recognize him as king. Henry considered Germany a confederation of duchies rather than a nation. Having complete authority in Saxony and nominal sovereignty in Franconia, he sought to bring the duchies of Swabia and Bavaria into the confederation. After forcing the submission of Burchard, duke of Swabia (919), he allowed the duke to retain control over the civil administration of the duchy. On the basis of an election by Bavarian and East Frankish nobles (919), Arnulf, duke of Bavaria, also claimed the German throne. In 921, after two military campaigns, the king forced Arnulf to submit and relinquish his claim to the throne, though the duke retained complete internal control of Bavaria. Henry defeated Giselbert, king of Lotharingia, in 925, and that region, which had become independent of Germany in 910, was brought back under German control. Giselbert, who was recognized as duke of Lotharingia, married the king's daughter Gerberga in 928. When the Magyars, barbarian warriors from Hungary, invaded Germany in 924, Henry agreed to pay tribute to them and return a captured Magyar chief in exchange for a nine-year (924-933) cession of raids on German territory. During these years the king built fortified towns and trained the cavalry force he used to defeat various Slavic tribes; he conquered the Havelli at Brandenburg and the Daleminzi at Meissen in 928 and suppressed a rebellion in Bohemia in 929. The king refused to pay more tribute when the nine-year truce ended in 933. He used his seasoned cavalry to destroy the Magyars, who had resumed their raids, at Riade on March 15, 933, and ended their threat to the German countryside. The king's last campaign, an invasion of Denmark (934), added the territory of Schleswig to the German state. The story that Henry received the surname Fowler because he was laying bird snares when informed of his election as king is probably a myth. ======================================================= Henry I Henry I or Henry the Fowler,876?-936, German king (919-36), first of the Saxon line and father of Otto I, the first of the Holy Roman emperors. Henry succeeded his father as duke of Saxony in 912. A foe of King Conrad I, who futilely tried to subdue the rebellious Henry, he was nevertheless named (918) by Conrad as his successor. Designated king by Saxon and Franconian nobles in 919, Henry refused to be crowned by the bishops, thus maintaining his independence of the church. As king he immediately turned to restoring monarchical authority, which had been whittled away by the dukes. By 921 he had secured recognition of his royal authority from the dukes of Swabia and Bavaria. In 925 he won Lotharingia from its allegiance to France. Henry also dealt with the Magyar raids, which Conrad had failed to halt. In 924 after a Magyar invasion of Saxony, Henry arranged a nine-year truce and agreed to pay yearly tribute to the Magyars. He used this respite to introduce military reforms in Saxony and Thuringia. Saxon soldiers were trained for mounted combat, and the new efficiency of his army enabled him to take Brandenburg from the Wends. In the marches, or frontier regions, Henry built large fortresses, primarily for military purposes; however, he attracted some permanent settlers in these regions. In 933 the truce with the Magyars ended when Henry refused to pay tribute; he defeated the Magyars in a great battle at Riade, near the Unstrut River. He expanded his frontier at Danish expense in 934. Before his death Henry secured from the nobles the succession of his son as Otto I. His wife, Matilda, founded many monasteries, including Quedlinburg, where she lies buried with her husband. She is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church; her feast is Mar. 14. http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0823358.html

Weis, p. 51, 123: Duke of Saxony, King of the Saxons 912-936

Name Prefix: King Name Suffix: I, Holy Roman Emperor, Duke Of Saxony "The Fowler"

Konge av Tyskland 919 - 936.
Henrik var stifter at det sachsiske hus. Han ble hertug i Sachsen etter farens død i 912.
Da Ludvig ?barnet? døde i 911, holdt hele det tyske rike på å gå i fullstendig
oppløsning. For å få slutt på den stadige oppdelingen av riket ved hvert arveskifte, ble
Tyskland nå gjort til et valgrike. Merovinger og karolinger hadde skapt sitt rike ved erobringer
og betraktet det som et slags storgods, som kongen kunne stykke ut til sine sønner etter
forgodtbefinnende. Men fra nå av skulle kongedømmet ikke lenger være arvelig. Kongen
skulle velges av folket, dvs. valget ble foretatt av rikets fornemste fyrster - hertugene - med de
andre stormennenes og folkets bifall. En slektning av de siste karolinger, hertug Konrad av
Franken, ble den første tyske valgkonge. På sitt dødsleie viste han bevis på sitt høysinn ved å
overvinne seg selv til å oversende kronen, rikssverdet og kongekåpen til den dyktigste av sine
motstandere, hertug Henrik av Sachsen. Tysklands vel lå Konrad mer på hjertet enn noe
annet, og om noen skulle kunne redde rikets enhet, måtte det være Henrik, som også hadde
sine stammefrender, de mektige sakserne, i ryggen.
Henrik går i middelalderkrønikene under navnet ?Fuglefangeren? fordi han var ute på
fuglejakt da han mottok budet fra Konrad. At han var en ivrig jeger, er i hvert fall ganske
sikkert.
Henrik ble valgt til konge i 919. Han tilhørte en ualminnelig livskraftig slekt, hans farmor
Oda ble således hele 107 år gammel. Selv hadde han en imponerende skikkelse, men var
temmelig stor og tung, en ekte saksisk folkekonge. Hans rettlinjede karakter og store
viljestyrke som var parret med en velgjørende og gemyttlig ro, gjorde at han nettopp var den
rette mann til å forene stridbare viljer og holde et vaklende rike sammen. Som menneske var
han godhjertet og trofast, som politiker like seig og utholdende som han var klok.
Overfor slaverne førte Henrik en kraftig og fremgangsrik politikk og tsjekkerne i
Böhmen og Mähren ble tvunget til underkastelse under det tyske rike. Saksernes gamle
arvefiende, venderne øst for Elben, beseiret han også, og fikk dessuten satt stopp for
vikingenes herjinger. Han oppsøkte danskene i deres eget land, tilføyde dem et knusende
nederlag og tvang danskekongen til å sverge ham troskapsed. Selv madjarenes stormflod
lyktes det Henrik å demme opp for - i hvert fall for sitt eget hertugdømmes vedkommende - ved
å oppføre befestede murer rundt alle bebodde steder i Sachsen og utstyre dem med
garnisoner. Av disse borgene oppsto senere de første saksiske byene. Dessuten arbeidet han
på å skape et sterkt kavaleri, så han kunne føre sine kriger mest mulig med rytterhærer, ?små,
men helt av jern?, og det lyktes også virkelig for ham å kaste de ungarske hordene tilbake
med slik kraft at de senere ikke våget seg over Tysklands grenser så lenge Henrik levde.
Henrik hadde stått fram i den ytterste nød og reddet Tyskland ikke bare fra indre
oppløsning, men også fra store ytre farer. Men hadde han ikke hatt sine stammefrender
saksernes urokkelige styrke å støtte seg til, ville han neppe ha kunnet gjennomføre den store
oppgaven han hadde påtatt seg.
Han døde av slag i 936.

Henry I, also called HENRY THE FOWLER, German HEINRICH DER VOGLER (b.c. 876--d. July 2, 936, Memleben, Saxony [now in Germany]), German king and founder of the Saxon dynasty (918-1024) who strengthened the East Frankish, or German, army, encouraged the growth of towns, brought Lotharingia (Lorraine) back under German control (925), and secured German borders against pagan incursions.
The son of Otto the Illustrious, the Liudolfing duke of Saxony, Henrybecame duke at his father's death (912). His first marriage, to Hatheburg, daughter of Erwin, count of Merseburg, was declared invalid because she had become a nun after her first husband's death. He married Matilda, daughter of Dietrich, count of Westphalia, in 909; their eldest son would rule as the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great (936-973).
Although at war (912-915) with Conrad I of Franconia (German king, 903-918) over title to lands in Thuringia, Henry received Conrad's deathbed designation as heir to the throne. He was elected king of Germany (May 919) by nobles of Saxony and Franconia, two of the four most influential duchies; the other two important duchies, Swabia and Bavaria, did not recognize him as king.

In 921, after two militarycampaigns, the king forced Arnulf to submit and relinquish his claim to the throne, though the duke retained complete internal control of Bavaria.
Henry defeated Giselbert, king of Lotharingia, in 925, and that region, which had become independent of Germany in 910, was brought back under German control. Giselbert, who was recognized as duke of Lotharingia, married the king's daughter Gerberga in 928.
When the Magyars, barbarian warriors from Hungary, invaded Germany in924, Henry agreed to pay tribute to them and return a captured Magyarchief in exchange for a nine-year (924-933) cession of raids on German territory.

The king's last campaign, an invasion of Denmark (934), added the territory of Schleswig to the German state.
The story that Henry received the surname Fowler because he was laying bird snares when informed of his election as king is probably a myth.

Henry I the Fowler (German: Heinrich der Finkler or Heinrich der Vogler; Latin: Henricius Auceps) (876 - July 2, 936), was the duke of Saxony from 912 and king of the Germans from 919 until his death in 936. First of the Ottonian Dynasty of German kings and emperors, he is generally considered to be the founder and first king of the medieval German Empire, known until then as East Francia. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king. (Fowler is another word for bird hunter)

Family
Henry was the son of Otto the Illustrious, duke of Saxony, and his wife Hedwiga, a great-great-granddaughter of Charlemagne, and a daughter of Carloman of Bavaria. In 906 he married Hatheburg, daughter of the Saxon count Erwin, but divorced her in 909, after she had given birth to his son Thankmar. Later that year he married Matilda of Ringelheim, daughter of Dietrich, count in western Saxony (Westfalia). Matilda bore him three sons and two daughters and founded many religious institutions, including the abbey of Quedlinburg where Henry is buried, and was later canonized.

Henry regarded the kingdom as a confederation of tribal duchies rather than a feudal kingdom and himself as primus inter pares. Rather than seeking to administer the empire through counts, as Charlemagne had done and his successors had attempted, Henry allowed the dukes of Franconia, Swabia and Bavaria to maintain complete internal control of their holdings. In 925, he defeated Giselbert, duke of Lotharingia (Lorraine), and brought that realm, which had been lost in 910, back into the German kingdom as the fifth tribal duchy (the others being Saxony, Franconia, Swabia, and Bavaria), but allowing Giselbert to remain in power and marrying his daughter Gerberga to his new vassal in 928.

Henry was an able military leader. Germany had been repeatedly raided by the Magyars (Hungarians), and in 924 Henry paid them a tribute to secure a ten-year truce so that he could fortify towns and train a new elite cavalry force. With his new army, he conquered the Havelli and the Daleminzi in 928 and put down a rebellion in Bohemia in 929. When the Magyars began raiding again, he led an army of all German tribes to victory over them at the battle of Riade in 933, stopping one of their advances into Germany. He also pacified territories to the north, where the Danes had harried the Frisians off to the sea. The monk and historian Widukind of Corvey in his Res gestae Saxonicae reports that the Danes were subjects of Henry the Fowler. Henry incorporated territories held by the Wends, who together with the Danes had attacked Germany, into his kingdom and also conquered Schleswig in 934.

When Henry died on 2 July 936, all German tribes were united in a single kingdom. Henry I is therefore considered the first German king and the founder of the eventual Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation).

His son Otto succeeded him as Emperor Otto I ("the Great"). His second son, Henry, became duke of Bavaria. A third son, Brun (or Bruno), became archbishop of Cologne. His son from his first marriage, Thankmar, rebelled against his half-brother Otto and was killed in battle in 936. His daughter Gerberga of Saxony married Duke Giselbert of Lorraine and subsequently King Louis IV of France. His youngest daughter Hedwige of Saxony married Duke (Hugh the Great) of France and was the mother of Hugh Capet, the first Capetian king of France. (Wikipedia)

Henry I, also known as Henry the Fowler (in German, Henrik or Heinrich der Vogler) was the founder of the Saxon dynasty of kings and emperors in Germany. Although he never took the title "Emperor" (his son Otto was the first to revive the title centuries after the Carolingians), future emperors would reckon the numbering of "Henrys" from his reign. How he got his nickname is uncertain; one story has it that he was called "fowler" because he was setting bird snares when informed of his election as king, but that is probably a myth.

When his father, Duke Otto the Illustrious, died in 912, Henry became Duke of Saxony. Six years later, Conrad I of Franconia designated Henry as his heir shortly before he died. Henry now controlled two of the four most significant duchies in Germany, the nobles of which elected him king of Germany in May of 919. However, the other two important duchies, Bavaria and Swabia, did not recognize him as their king.

Henry had respect for the autonomy of the various duchies of Germany, but he also wanted them to unite in a confederation. He managed to force Burchard, the duke of Swabia, to submit to him in 919, but he allowed Burchard to retain administrative control over his duchy. In that same year, Bavarian and East Frankish nobles elected Arnulf, duke of Bavaria, as king of Germany, and Henry met the challenge with two military campaigns, forcing Arnulf to submit in 921. Though Arnulf gave up his claim to the throne, he retained control of his duchy of Bavaria. Four years later Henry defeated Giselbert, king of Lotharingia, and brought the region back under German control. Giselbert was allowed to remain in charge of Lotharingia as duke, and in 928 he married Henry's daughter, Gerberga.

In 924 the barbarian Magyar tribe invaded Germany. Henry agreed to pay them tribute and to return a hostage chief in exchange for a nine-year halt to raids on German lands. Henry used the time well; he built fortified towns, trained mounted warriors into a formidable army, and led them in some solid victories against various Slavic tribes. When the nine-year truce ended, Henry refused to pay more tribute, and the Magyars resumed their raids. But Henry crushed them at Riade in March of 933, putting an end to the Magyar threat to the Germans.

Henry's last campaign was an invasion of Denmark through which the territory of Schleswig became part of Germany. (http://historymedren.about.com/library/who/blwwhenryfowler.htm)

Founder of the Saxon dynasty, he was the Liudolfing duke of Saxony from 912.
He was recognized as German king in 919 by nobles of Saxony and Franconia,
two of the four most influntial duchies; the other two important duchies,
Swabia and Bavaria, did not recognize him as king. Henry considered Germany a
confederation of duchies rather than a nation. He had ongoing problems with
barbarian warriors from Hungary called the Magyars, but finally destroyed
them in battle. His Son Otto I succeeded him.

Henry the Fowler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Henry I, the Fowler (German: Heinrich der Vogler) (876 - July 2, 936), was Duke of Saxony from 912 and king of the Germans from 919 until his death in 936. First of the Ottonian Dynasty of German kings and emperors, he is generally considered to be the founder and first king of the medieval German Empire, known until then as the East Franconian Kingdom. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king.

Henry was the son of Otto the Illustrious, duke of Saxony, and his wife Hedwiga, a great-granddaughter of Charlemagne. In 906 he married Hatheburg, daughter of the Saxon count Erwin, but divorced her in 909 after she had given birth to his son Thankmar. Later that year he married Matilda of Ringelheim, daughter of Dietrich, count in western Saxony (Westfalia). Matilda bore him three sons and two daughters and founded many religious institutions, including the abbey of Quedlinburg where Henry is buried, and was later canonized.

Henry became duke of Saxony upon his father's death in 912 and, an able ruler, continued to strengthen Saxony, frequently in conflict with his neighbors to the South, the dukes of Franconia.

In 918 king Conrad I of the East-Franconian Empire, and duke of Franconia, died and recommended Henry as his successor as king, despite the fact that they had been at odds with each other from 912 to 915 over the title to lands in Thuringia. Conrad's choice was conveyed by duke Eberhard III of Franconia, Conrad's brother and heir, to the assembled Franconian and Saxon nobles at the Reichstag of Fritzlar in 919, which duly elected Henry to be king. Henry refused to be anointed by a high church official, the only king of his time not to undergo that rite – allegedly because he did not wish to be king by the church's but by the people's acclaim. Duke Burkhard I of Swabia soon swore fealty to the new king, but duke Arnulf of Bavaria did not submit until Henry invaded Bavaria in 921 and Arnulf swore fealty to him.

Henry regarded the kingdom as a confederation of tribal duchies rather than a feudal kingdom and himself as primus inter pares. Rather than seeking to administer the empire through counts, as Charlemagne had done and his successors had attempted, Henry allowed the dukes of Franconia, Swabia and Bavaria to maintain complete internal control of their holdings.

His daughter Gerberga married Duke Giselbert of Lorraine and subsequently King Louis IV of France. His youngest daughter Hedwige of Saxony married Duke (Hugh the Great) of France and was the mother of Hugh Capet, the first Capetian king of France.

He appears in Return to Castle Wolfenstein when the Nazis are trying to wake him from the dead so they can win the war.

5 Notes

[edit] Family
Born in Memleben, in what is now Saxony-Anhalt, Henry was the son of Otto the Illustrious, duke of Saxony, and his wife Hedwiga, daughter of Henry of Franconia and Ingeltrude and a great-great-granddaughter of Charlemagne. In 906 he married Hatheburg, daughter of the Saxon count Erwin, but divorced her in 909, after she had given birth to his son Thankmar. Later that year he married St Matilda of Ringelheim, daughter of Dietrich, count in western Saxony (Westfalia).St Matilda bore him three sons and two daughters and founded many religious institutions, including the abbey of Quedlinburg where Henry is buried, and was later canonized.

[edit] Succession
Henry became duke of Saxony upon his father's death in 912. An able ruler, he continued to strengthen Saxony, frequently in conflict with his neighbors to the South, the dukes of Franconia.

In 918 Conrad I, king of the East-Francian Empire and duke of Franconia, died. Although they had been at odds with each other from 912 to 915 over the title to lands in Thuringia, before he died Conrad had recommended Henry as his successor as king. Conrad's choice was conveyed by Duke Eberhard of Franconia, Conrad's brother and heir, at the Reichstag of Fritzlar in 919. The assembled Franconian and Saxon nobles duly elected Henry to be king. Henry refused to be anointed by a high church official - the only king of his time not to undergo that rite – allegedly because he did not wish to be king by the church's but by the people's acclaim. Duke Burchard II of Swabia soon swore fealty to the new king, but duke Arnulf of Bavaria did not submit until Henry invaded Bavaria in 921.

[edit] Policy
Henry regarded the kingdom as a confederation of tribal duchies rather than as a feudal kingdom and saw himself as primus inter pares. Instead of seeking to administer the empire through counts, as Charlemagne had done and as his successors had attempted, Henry allowed the dukes of Franconia, Swabia and Bavaria to maintain complete internal control of their holdings. In 925 he defeated Giselbert, duke of Lotharingia (Lorraine), and brought that realm, which had been lost in 910, back into the German kingdom as the fifth tribal duchy (the others being Saxony, Franconia, Swabia, and Bavaria). Allowing Giselbert to remain in power as duke of Lotharingia, Henry arranged the marriage of his daughter Gerberga of Saxony to his new vassal in 928.

Henry was an able military leader. In 924 Henry paid a tribute to the Magyars (Hungarians), who had repeatedly raided Germany, and thereby secured a ten-year truce so that he could fortify towns and train a new elite cavalry force. During the truce with the Magyars, Henry conquered the Havelli and the Daleminzi in 928 and put down a rebellion in Bohemia in 929. When the Magyars began raiding again, he led an army of all German tribes to victory at the battle of Riade in 933 near the river Unstrut, stopping their advance into Germany. He also pacified territories to the north, where the Danes had harried the Frisians by sea. The monk and historian Widukind of Corvey in his Res gestae Saxonicae reports that the Danes were subjects of Henry the Fowler. Henry incorporated into his kingdom territories held by the Wends, who together with the Danes had attacked Germany, and also conquered Schleswig in 934.

[edit] Death and aftermath
Henry died of a cerebral stroke on 2 July 936 in his palatium in Memleben, one of his favourite places. By then all German tribes were united in a single kingdom. Henry I is therefore considered the first German king and the founder of the eventual Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation). He has sometimes been considered as Holy Roman Emperor, Henry I.

His son Otto succeeded him as Emperor. His second son, Henry, became duke of Bavaria. A third son, Brun (or Bruno), became archbishop of Cologne. His son from his first marriage, Thankmar, rebelled against his half-brother Otto and was killed in battle in 936. After the death of her husband Duke Giselbert of Lotharingia, Henry's daughter Gerberga of Saxony married King Louis IV of France. His youngest daughter Hedwige of Saxony married Duke (Hugh the Great) of France and was the mother of Hugh Capet, the first Capetian king of France.

Henry returned to public attention as a character in Richard Wagner's opera, Lohengrin (1850). There are indications that Heinrich Himmler imagined himself the reincarnation of the first king of Germany.[2]

Germany in the 10th and 11th centuries. Conrad I was quite unequal t othe situation in Germany. According to the beliefs of contemporaries , hisfailure meant that his house was luckless and lacked theprosperit y-bringing virtues that belonged to true kingship. On hisdeathbed in 9 18, he therefore proposed that the crown, which in 911 hadremained wit h the Franks, should now pass to the leading man in Saxony,the Liudolf ing Henry (later called the Fowler). Henry I was elected bythe Saxons and Franks at Fritzlar, their ancient meeting place, in 919.With a mon arch of their own race, the Saxons now took over the burden andthe rew ards of being the kingmaking people.

King of Germany, Emperor Elect

Henry I (of Germany), called Henry The Fowler (876?-936), king of German y (919-36), the first of the Saxon line of German kings. In 912 Henry suc ceeded his father as duke of Saxony. Following the death of Conrad I, kin g of Germany, in 918, Henry was chosen king by the Franconian and Saxon n obles. Bavaria, Swabia, and Lotharingia refused to acknowledge him at fir st, and it was not until 925 that he managed to win recognition from al l the German states. In 926 Henry secured a nine-year truce from warfar e with the Magyars. During that period he transformed many of the small t owns of Germany into fortified cities with trained troops of mounted warr iors. His military preparations were successfully tested in a war agains t the Wends in 929. When the Magyars invaded Thüringen in 933, Henry repu lsed them decisively. He defeated the Danes in the following year and sei zed territory from them. Henry was the first to create a united Germany , and, although he never received the imperial crown, he is generally rec ognized as one of the Holy Roman emperors. He was succeeded by his son, O tto (Othon).

SAXONY

The Franks under Charlemagne slowly conquered the pagan Saxon tribes (782-804). The Saxons were initially subsumed by the Frankish Empire, but emerged as a separate kingdom during the Carolingian fragmentation that followed.

888 -918
Saxony emerges as one of the more powerful stem duchies in East Francia (kings of Germany), once the formal split is made between East and West Franks. The earliest dukes seize the throne of East Francia and under Otto I create what comes to be known the Holy Roman Empire.

Henry I the Fowler King of the Saxons (918-936).
936 - 973
Otto I the Great King. First Emperor of German Roman Empire (962-973).
962 -1025
Otto's line continues as Holy Roman Emperors.

Henry I, also called HENRY THE FOWLER, German HEINRICH DER VOGLER (b. c. 876--d. July 2, 936, Memleben, Saxony [now in Germany]), German king and founder of the Saxon dynasty (918-1024) who strengthened the East Frankish, or German,army, encouraged the growth of towns, brought Lotharingia (Lorraine)
back under German control (925), and secured German borders against pagan incursions.
The son of Otto the Illustrious, the Liudolfing duke of Saxony, Henry became duke at his father's death (912). His first marriage, to Hatheburg, daughter of Erwin, count of Merseburg, was declared invalid because she had
become a nun after her first husband's death. He married Matilda, daughter of Dietrich, count of Westphalia, in 909; their eldest son would rule as the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great (936-973).
Although at war (912-915) with Conrad I of Franconia (German king,903-918) over title to lands in Thuringia, Henry received Conrad's deathbed designation as heir to the throne. He was elected king of Germany (May 919) by
nobles of Saxony and Franconia, two of the four most influential duchies; the other two important duchies, Swabia and Bavaria, did not recognize him as king.
Henry considered Germany a confederation of duchies rather than a nation. Having complete authority in Saxony and nominal sovereignty in Franconia, he sought to bring the duchies of Swabia and Bavaria into the confederation. After forcing the submission of Burchard, duke of Swabia (919), he allowed the duke to retain control over the civil administration of the duchy. On the basis of an election by Bavarian and East Frankish nobles (919), Arnulf, duke of Bavaria, also claimed the German throne. In 921, after two military campaigns, the king forced Arnulf to submit and relinquish his claim to the throne, though the duke retained complete internal control of Bavaria.
Henry defeated Giselbert, king of Lotharingia, in 925, and that region, which had become independent of Germany in 910,was brought back under German control. Giselbert, who was recognized as duke of Lotharingia, married the king's daughter Gerberga in 928.
When the Magyars, barbarian warriors from Hungary, invaded Germany in 924, Henry agreed to pay tribute to them and return a captured Magyar chief in exchange for a nine-year (924-933) cession of raids on German territory. During these years the king built fortified towns and trained the cavalry force he used to defeat various Slavic tribes; he conquered the Havelli at Brandenburg and the Daleminzi at Meissen in 928 and suppressed a rebellion in Bohemia in 929. The king refused to pay more tribute when the nine-year truce ended in 933. He used his seasoned cavalry to destroy the Magyars,who had resumed their raids, at Riade on March 15, 933, and ended their threat to the German countryside. The king's last campaign, an invasion of Denmark (934), added the territory of Schleswig to the German state.
The story that Henry received the surname Fowler because he was laying bird snares when informed of his election as king is probably a myth.
[Again. He still wansn't able to force recognician over His vassals as Empeoor and not just German King. He wasn't crowned in Italy by the pope either.]

Heinrich I of Germany, Duke of Saxony, was chosen as King of Germany in 919 by the other German rulers and reigned over Germany 919-936. During his reign Germany was something like a confederation of territories such as Bavaria, Schwabia, Franconia and Lorraine. He was known as the "City-Builder". He is named as the head of the Saxon dynasty.

The first of the Saxon line of German kings. In 912 Henri succeeded his
father as duke of Saxony. Following the death of Conrad I, king of
Germany, in 918, Henri was chosen king by the Franconian and Saxon nobles.
Bavaria, Swabia, and Lotharingia refused to acknowledge him at first, and
it was not until 925 that he managed to win recognition from all the
German states. In 926 Henri secured a nine-year truce from warfare with
the Magyars. During that period he transformed many of the small towns of
Germany into fortified cities with trained troops of mounted warriors. His
military preparations were successfully tested in a war against the Wends
in 929. When the Magyars invaded Thuringia in 933, Henri repulsed them
decisively. He defeated the Danes in the following year and seized
territory from them. Henri was the first to create a united Germany, and,
although he never received the imperial crown, he is generally recognized
as one of the Holy Roman emperors. He was succeeded by his son, Otto.

Henrik I av Sachsen, også kalt Henrik I Fuglefangeren, tysk: Heinrich der Finkler eller Heinrich der Vogler (født 876, død 2. juli 936), var konge av Tyskland i perioden 919-936. Enkelte kilder omtaler ham som keiser. Han var Sachsens første konge innen ?det ottonske dynasti?, da han var sønn til hertug Otto av Sachsen.

Henrik var gift med Matilda av Ringelheim, datter av hertug Teodebert av Westfalen.

Han ble konge etter sin onkel Konrad I etter at han på sin dødsseng overtalte han sin bror, markgreve Eberhard av Franken, om å tilby kronen til Henrik som var en av hans hovedmotstandere. Grunnen var at han så på Henrik som den eneste prinsen som var i stand til å holde kongedømmet sammen mot de interne stridighetene blant hertugene og mot de pågående invasjonene til madjarene. Eberhard og den øvrige frankiske adelen aksepterte Konrads råd, og Henrik ble valgt til konge som Henrik I i 919 ved Fritzlar.

Henrik invaderte de nordiske områdene, hvor danskene hadde beseiret friserne og gjorde i følge munken og historikeren Widukind av Corvey i sin bok Rex gestae Saxonicae den danske konen til vasall under Henrik. Han inntok også områder som hadde tilhørt venderne etter at disse hadde angrepet Tyskland sammen med danskene. Videre erobret han Slesvig i 934.

Han erobret videre hertugdømmet Bayern og kongedømmet Lorraine og ga disse som arveland til sine barn.

Da han døde av slag i sitt palass i Memleben var alle de tyske stammene samlet til et rike og Henrik blir derfor ansett som den første tyske kongen og den som la grunnlaget for Det tysk-romerske riket. Dette ble fullført av hans sønn Otto.

BIOGRAPHY
Heinrich was born in 876, the son of Otto, duke of Saxony, and Haduwig von Babenberg. Emperor-Elect Konrad I had designated Heinrich as his successor, which was supported by the Saxon and Franconian nobility. Although he was the first non-Frank ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, he adopted Frankish customs, dress and manners.

He regarded the support of the nobility as sufficient for his position, and refused to be crowned by the bishops. As duke of Saxony he had shown his independence from Emperor and Church. However when he became emperor he grew closer to the Church.

The most serious problem of his reign was the independence of the higher nobility. This had been caused by the disintegration of monarchical powers in the preceding fifty years. He re-established imperial control over Suabia, Lotharingia and Bavaria. However, in general he allowed the dukes a free hand within their own territories.

Several times after 925 he raided the territories of his uncivilized neighbours, the Slavic Wends and the Hungarian Magyars, taking Brandenburg from the Wends, and defeating the Magyars in battle in 933. In the conquered lands he built fortified cities as military strongholds.

His rule restored much of the power and prestige of the monarchy so that, before he died (on 2 July 936), he obtained the recognition of his son Otto as his successor.

He was elected King of Germany in 918. He was Duke of Saxony and is considered one of the Holy Roman Emperors, although he was never officially named as such. His unofficial term was 919 to 936.

He has sometimes been considered as Holy Roman Emperor, Henry I.

He was elected King of Germany in 918. He was Duke of Saxony and is considered one of the Holy Roman Emperors, although he was never officially named as such. His unofficial term was 919 to 936.

Henrik I "Fågelfängaren" Saxon DYNASTY, also called LIUDOLFING DYNASTY, ruling house of German kings (Holy Roman emperors) from 919 to 1024. It came to power when the Liudolfing duke of Saxony was elected German king as Henry I (later called the Fowler), in 919. Henry I's son and successor, Otto I the Great (king 936-973, western emperor from 962), won a decisive victory over the Magyars at the Battle of Lechfeld near Augsburg in 955 and continued the policy, initiated by Henry I, of German expansion into Slavic territory to the east; he also intervened in Italy and, like several of his successors, established control over the papacy. By investing churchmen in Germany with lands, he laid down a long-lasting framework of support for the crown against the lay nobility. He was crowned emperor by Pope John XII at Rome in 962. He concluded the Privilegium Ottonianum, a treaty that regulated relations between emperor and pope, and initiated a Holy Roman Empire of the German nation. His son Otto II (973-83) continued his policy, but his grandson Otto III (983-1002) was interested in Italian affairs to the detriment of Germany. The last member of the line, Henry II (1002-24), turned his attention back to Germany. When Henry II died childless in 1024, another descendant of Henry I, Conrad II, the Salian, was elected king, thus initiating the Salian dynasty.
