Henry VI, Count Palatine of the Rhine

Henry VI the Younger of Brunswick (c. 1196–1214) was Count Palatine of the Rhine from 1212. The only son of Count Palatine Henry V and Agnes of Hohenstaufen, he was raised at the English court of his great-uncle King John. In 1212 his father abdicated and he married Mathilde of Brabant.

He backed his uncle Otto IV, then defected to Frederick II. He died childless in 1214 and was buried at Schönau Abbey, the Palatinate passing to Duke Louis I.
