Henry I van Vianden

Henry (or Hendrik) van Vianden (died 4 June 1267) was a bishop of Utrecht from 1249 to 1267.

He was provost at Cologne before he was pushed forward as candidate for the bishopric of Utrecht by the Welfs in their struggle with the Hohenstaufen.

Pope Innocent IV then formally appointed him despite resistance from the canons of Utrecht.

Henry managed to subdue his opponents, but their actions were a precursor to future struggles.

Henry van Vianden granted city rights to a large number of towns, such as Hasselt in 1252, Amersfoort in 1259, Goor in 1263, and Oudewater, Loenen and Vreeland in 1265.
