Henry V the Fat

Henry V the Fat (c. 1248–22 February 1296), eldest son of Bolesław II of Legnica, held the duchies of Jawor from 1273, Legnica from 1278 and Wrocław from 1290. In 1277 his charge at Stolec turned his father's defeat into victory and captured two dukes.

Seized by Henry IV Probus in 1281, he was forced to recognize him as duke of Wrocław, though its citizens invited him to rule in 1290. In 1293 Henry III of Głogów imprisoned him for six months in an iron cage, and he died on 22 February 1296 leaving minor sons under his brother Bolko.
