Talk:Henry II, Duke of Bavaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He's either The Quarrelsome or The Wrangler. Mst of Hungarian sources reference him as the former, most of the genealogy online (including the one covering pretty much everyone in or connected to the royal english families) as the latter. Anyone been there and met him personally? :-)
I am pretty confused. this geneweb refers Henri II le Querelleur who has:
- a child called Henri II le Saint (973-1024)
- have a daddy called Henri I von Sachsen and a granddaddy called Henri I l'Oiseleur von Sachsen
Seems that Henries didn't care much about who's who. We have two Henry of nearly all numbers. Anyone with serious historical background could shed some light on this? --grin 19:09, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Henri le Querelleur was Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, called either the Quarrelsome or the Wrangler. His father was Henry I, Duke of Bavaria, not Henry I, Duke of Saxony, who was the same person as Henri l'Oiseleur, that is, Henry the Fowler, the first Saxon king of Germany. Henry the Fowler (l'Oiseleur) was indeed Henry II's grandfather, the father of Henry I. Henry II's son was Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor, also Henry IV, Duke of Bavaria, and called either the Saint or the Holy. Srnec 03:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
