Henry the Lion

Henry the Lion (1129/1131–1195), son of Henry the Proud, recovered Saxony in 1142. He helped his cousin Frederick Barbarossa win the German throne in 1152 and was restored to Bavaria in 1156.

He founded Munich in 1157 and Lübeck in 1159, and in 1166 erected the bronze lion before Dankwarderode Castle in Brunswick. In 1168 he married Matilda, daughter of Henry II of England.

After he refused troops for Barbarossa's Italian war, he was stripped of both duchies in 1180 and spent years exiled in England. He died at Brunswick in 1195, leaving sons including Emperor Otto IV.
