Henry III, Count of Schwerin

Henry III of Schwerin (died 1344), son of Count Helmold III, was born no earlier than 1289. Until 1307–1310 he ruled jointly with his elder brother Gunzelin V, whose childless death left Henry the greater part of the county, while kinsmen held its outlying lands.

In 1316 he married Elisabeth of Holstein-Schauenburg. Henry died in 1344 without children, the last of the elder line of Schwerin counts, and his lands passed to Nicholas II and Otto I.
