Henry IV, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg

Bypassed by his older brother Bernhard IV as ruler of Anhalt-Bernburg, he only assumed rule of the principality when Bernhard died in 1354. In addition to his princely title, he also adopted the style "Lord of Bernburg". ==Marriage and issue==

Henry married Sophie, possibly a member of the House of Stolberg. They had three children: • Bernhard V, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg (died 24 June 1420) • Rudolph (III) (died 28 November 1406), Bishop of Halberstadt (1401–1406) • Adelheid (died aft. 2 February 1374), Abbess of Gernrode (1348–1374). After his death, his son Bernhard was bypassed in his rights over Bernburg in favor of Henry's younger half-brother Otto, who succeeded him.
