According to the 977 donation deed of
Lambrecht Abbey, Henry was the eldest son of Count
Otto von Worms (d. 1004), Duke of
Carinthia from 978 to 983 and again from 995, and his wife
Judith. He married
Adelaide of Metz (d. 1039/46), a sister of the
Lotharingian counts
Gerhard of the Mosel, Count of Metz and Adalbert, Count of the Saargau. The marriage produced a son, Conrad ( – 1039), who was elected
King of the Romans in 1024 and crowned
Holy Roman Emperor three years later, and a daughter, Judith. Henry's younger brother Bruno was elected
Pope Gregory V in 996, his brother
Conrad I succeeded their father as Duke of Carinthia in 1004. Little is known of Henry's life, since he died at around the age of 20, even predeceasing his father Otto. He is buried in
Worms Cathedral along with his daughter Judith. Adelaide outlived her husband by many years; she secondly married another Franconian count, possibly from the Elder
House of Babenberg (Popponids), and died in 1046. ==References==
