Henry of Schweinfurt

Henry of Schweinfurt (de Suinvorde; c. 970 – 18 September 1017) was the Margrave of the Nordgau from 994 until 1004.

He was called the "glory of eastern Franconia" by his own cousin, the chronicler Thietmar of Merseburg.

In 1003, he revolted against Henry II of Germany claiming that he had been promised the Duchy of Bavaria in return for his support.

The new diocese took over the secular authority of the margrave in the region of the Bavarian Nordgau.

Finally, it was only the joint persuasion of both his saecular and ecclesiastical overlords, Bernard I, Duke of Saxony, and Tagino, Archbishop of Magdeburg, that reconciled him to Henry in 1004.
