Biography

Henry was the eldest son of Henry II of Lipá, though the exact date of his birth remains unknown. He is first mentioned in a document dating 28 November 1337, when he was around the age of 15.[1] In the 1350s, he took part in the provincial court of Brno, and was a member of the entourage of Charles IV.[2]

After the death of his uncle Čeněk of Lipá in 1363, Henry was appointed Supreme Marshal of the Kingdom of Bohemia.[3] He was elected as the protector and administrator of the estates of the Olomouc diocese from 1385 to 1387. In the early 1390s, he joined the noble coalition against Wenceslas IV.[2] After the death of Jan Ješek Ptáček of Pirkštein, Henry and his sons Henry, Hanuš, and Čeňek became the guardians of Jan Ptáček of Pirkštein.[4]

Henry was captured by an Austrian raid party in 1402 and imprisoned in Vienna. He died shortly after his release in 1405.[2]

Family

Henry was married to Ofka of Kravaře. He fathered four sons, Henry, Pertold, Hanuš, and Čeňek. He also had two daughters, Anežka and Helena.[2]
