 Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor (November 1165, Nijmegen– September 28, 1197, Messina) was king of Germany 1190-1197, and Holy Roman Emperor 1191-1197.
After having taken the reins of the Empire from his father, engaged in the Crusade, in 1189-1190 he suppressed a revolt of Henry the Lion, former duke of Saxony and Bavaria and relative of Frederick.
Henry was fluent in Latin, and, according to Alberic of Troisfontaines, was "distinguished by gifts of knowledge, wreathed in flowers of eloquence, and learned in canon and Roman law." He was a patron of prophets and poetry, and probably composed the song "Kaiser Heinrich" that is now among the Weingarten Song Manuscripts.
