Henry I of Bar

Henry I (1158–1190) was count of Bar and lord of Mousson from 1170. Succeeding his father Reginald II as a minor, he ruled under the regency of his mother Agnes of Champagne, whose 1172 claim to Verdun led her to ravage its diocese; both were excommunicated and submitted in 1177.

A first cousin of Philip II Augustus, he attended the king's coronation at Reims in 1179. He joined the Third Crusade after Jerusalem fell in 1187, and at Acre he was mortally wounded fighting Saladin's army on 4 October 1190, dying later that month.
