The previous margrave in this dynasty was Henry’s uncle Rudolf I, who was also his guardian.

Rudolf was deposed by Emperor Henry V because of conspiracy against the crown, and was replaced by Helperich as an interim measure.

Henry assumed the titles of Count of Stade and Margrave of the Nordmark in 1114.

Henry was succeeded as margrave by the son of Helperich, Conrad of Plötzkau.
