[edit] Nazis?

Quote: "When the Nazis exhumed his corpse, they were disappointed to find a comparatively small man with black hair."

Who cares if the Nazis were disappointed? lol

I agree lol.

~~ If this is true, it is an interesting historical anecdote, that shows how obsessed the Nazis were with retroactively creating a ethnic/racial justification--effectively rewriting history--for their evil regime. It also goes to show how pan-European most European's ancestry really is.

However, I wonder if this story is verifiable? I have thus added a "fact" tag. 167.80.244.204 14:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)chevalier3

[edit] Papa

This article says Henry's father was Welf IV (aka Welf II) -- but Welf's own article says he died childless. Can't have it both ways. . . . ---Michael K. Smith 02:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nazis who cares ? (!)

Firstly, I am sure that there are a good many historians who would care greatly about what the Nazis got up to with regard to exhuming corpses etc. especially as this ties in rather nicely with the article 'Ahnenerbe - SS' and a whole fascinating (rather twisted), and mostly unepxored niche of the Third Reich in power. There's probably a whole bunch of Neo-Nazis who'd love to read all about it too.

[edit] Traitor?

With all the Princes and Free cities within the "empire", everyone looks like a traitor, but wasn't Henry the Lion actively involved in treachery, hence his banishment? It doesn't say that anywhere in the article. Its kind of important to know what he got up to in his life...

[edit] Enguerrand III of Coucy

Coucy is no comté but a barony. Enguerrand III is thus the baron of Coucy, not the Count.
