Henry VI The Elder
Henry VI (IV) the Elder ( pl, Henryk VI (IV) Starszy) (bef. 1345 – 5 December 1393) was a Duke of Żagań- Głogów after 1368 (with his brothers as co-rulers until 1378). He was the oldest son of Henry V of Iron, Duke of Żagań-Głogów, by his wife Anna, daughter of Duke Wenceslaus of Płock. Life After his father's death in 1369, Henry VI initially ruled jointly with his younger brothers Henry VII Rumpold and Henry VIII the Sparrow. At this time, the Duchy of Żagań was in a tragic financial situation. In order to improve this, Henry V's sons reduced their expenditures to the minimum. Each of them received only 150 fines cash as a rent from the duchy and they only could hold not more than 20 horses. The situation was aggravated also as a result of the continued interference of Emperor Charles IV in the internal affairs of the Silesian Duchies. In 1375, following the emperor's instructions, the main cities of Góra, Głogów and Ścinawa were divided with the Kingdom of ...

Henry VI, Count Of Gorizia
Henry VI (1376–1454), a member of the House of Gorizia (''Meinhardiner'' dynasty), ruled as Count of Gorizia from 1385 until his death. He was also Count Palatine of Carinthia (a hereditary title), governor of Belluno-Feltre and '' Landeshauptmann'' of Carniola.

Upon his death about 1385, Henry succeeded him as Count of Gorizia (''Görz''). His estates went into a rapid decline, as he turned out to be an "incurable drunkard and gambler". Since Henry's cousin Countess Margaret had bequeathed her Tyrolean estates to the Habsburg duke Rudolf IV of Austria in 1363, the Counts of Gorizia were thrown back on their original possessions around Gorizia and Lienz ( Bruck Castle).

Henry VI Of England
Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453. The only child of Henry V, he succeeded to the English throne at the age of nine months upon his father's death, and succeeded to the French throne on the death of his maternal grandfather, Charles VI, shortly afterwards. Henry inherited the long-running Hundred Years' War (1337–1453), in which his uncle Charles VII contested his claim to the French throne. He is the only English monarch to have been also crowned King of France, in 1431. His early reign, when several people were ruling for him, saw the pinnacle of English power in France, but subsequent military, diplomatic, and economic problems had seriously endangered the English cause by the time Henry was declared fit to rule in 1437. He found his realm in a difficult position, faced with setbacks in France and divisions among the nobil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Henry VI (play)
''Henry VI'' is a series of three history plays by William Shakespeare, set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. ''Henry VI, Part 1'' deals with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, as the English political system is torn apart by personal squabbles and petty jealousy; ''Henry VI, Part 2'' depicts the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, and the inevitability of armed conflict; and ''Henry VI, Part 3'' deals with the horrors of that conflict. In 2016, scholars working on the New Oxford Shakespeare editions, announced that they were crediting Shakespeare's colleague and some time rival, Christopher Marlowe, as the co-author of the trilogy. It had long been suspected that the plays had co-authors. The Oxford scholars drew their conclusions by using "big data" techniques, using computer software to identify signature language patterns for an author (using a discipline known as stylo ...

In 1556, they lost the districts of Hof and Schauenstein by imperial arbitration.
