Henry II of Bar

Henry II (1190–1239) was count of Bar from 1214, son of Theobald I. He fought for Philip II Augustus at Bouvines and supported Count Theobald IV in the Champagne war of 1216–1221. In 1227 he rose with Theobald IV against the regent Blanche of Castile, then submitted; after quarrelling with Theobald, he raided Lorraine in 1230.

By his 1219 marriage to Philippa of Dreux he fathered his successor Theobald II and Margaret, wife of Henry V of Luxembourg. He took the cross in 1239 and was killed at Gaza on 13 November.
