Henry VI, Count Palatine of the Rhine

Henry VI "the Younger" of Brunswick (c. 1196 – 16 or 26 April 1214), of the House of Welf, was Count Palatine of the Rhine from 1212 to 1214.

Henry was raised at the court of his great-uncle, King John of England, and returned to Germany in 1211/1212.

On political grounds, Henry's father abdicated the Palatine dignity in his favor in 1212.

At the court assembly in November 1212 in Aachen, Henry took the side of his uncle Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

Shortly thereafter he took sides against the party of Otto IV on behalf of Frederick II.
