Henry IV, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg (1397 – 28 May 1427) was Count of Holstein-Rendsburg and Duke of Schleswig from 1404 until his death. == Life == Henry was the son of Gerhard VI of Holstein and Catherine Elisabeth of Brunswick-Lüneburg (d. 1417/1422) from the Holstein-Rendsburg line of the House of Schauenburg. His father, Gerhard VI, fell in battle on 4 August 1404 during an attempt to conquer Dithmarschen. Henry was seven years old at the time; his mother took up his guardianship, while the regency was taken up by his uncle Henry III. Henry III had been at war with Denmark since 1408 over the Duchy of Schleswig. Henry III claimed it as a hereditary fief; the Danish royals, Margaret I and later Eric VII, wanted the Duchy for themselves. In 1413, the regency ended. Henry IV, together with his younger brothers Adolf VIII and Gerhard VII, continued the war with Denmark. In 1417, a cease fire was agreed, after mediation by the city of Lübeck. In 1423, the war continued.〔Gesellschaft für Flensburger Stadtgeschichte (eds.): ''Flensburg in Geschichte und Gegenwart'', Flensburg, 1972, p. 296 ff〕 On 28 June 1424 in Buda, Emperor Sigismund ruled in favour of the Danes;〔Palle Lauring: ''Geschichte Dänemarks'', Wachholtz, Neumünster, 1964, p. 101.〕 however, this did not end hostilities.〔Max Pappenheim: ''Die Siebenhardenbeliebung vom 17. Juni 1426. Festschrift zur Fünfhundertjahrfeier'', Verlag Kunstgewerbemuseum, Flensburg, 1926, p. 7〕 Henry IV appealed to Pope Martin V to overrule the emperor's decision. However, this appeal was unsuccessful. In 1426, Danish troops occupied areas around the cities of Schleswig and Flensburg. Henry IV tried to gain support from the Hanseatic cities in Saxony, from the Frisians in Eiderstedt and even from the Victual Brothers.〔See: Karl Jansen, 1880〕 During the Danish-Holstein-Hanseatic war Henry IV fell in battle on 28 May 1427, during the siege of Flensburg. He was buried in the St. Lawrence church in Itzehoe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry IV, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
