Nazis? edit

Quote: "When the Nazis exhumed his corpse, they were disappointed to find a comparatively small man with black hair."

Who cares if the Nazis were disappointed? lol

I agree lol.

~~ If this is true, it is an interesting historical anecdote, that shows how obsessed the Nazis were with retroactively creating a ethnic/racial justification--effectively rewriting history--for their evil regime. It also goes to show how pan-European most European's ancestry really is.

However, I wonder if this story is verifiable? I have thus added a "fact" tag. 167.80.244.204 14:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)chevalier3Reply

This article says Henry's father was Welf IV (aka Welf II) -- but Welf's own article says he died childless. Can't have it both ways. . . . ---Michael K. Smith 02:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nazis who cares ? (!) edit

Firstly, I am sure that there are a good many historians who would care greatly about what the Nazis got up to with regard to exhuming corpses etc. especially as this ties in rather nicely with the article 'Ahnenerbe - SS' and a whole fascinating (rather twisted), and mostly unepxored niche of the Third Reich in power. There's probably a whole bunch of Neo-Nazis who'd love to read all about it too.

Traitor? edit

With all the Princes and Free cities within the "empire", everyone looks like a traitor, but wasn't Henry the Lion actively involved in treachery, hence his banishment? It doesn't say that anywhere in the article. Its kind of important to know what he got up to in his life...

Enguerrand III of Coucy edit

Coucy is no comté but a barony. Enguerrand III is thus the baron of Coucy, not the Count.

Exhumation edit

"Exhumation in the 1930s revealed that he had been excommunicated" - huh? Tschild (talk) 08:13, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Age of Empires? edit

Should we mention Age of Empires 2 under Legacy? Henry the lion is one of the characters in the Age of Empires 2 campaign Barbarossa.
