Henry I, Duke of Bavaria. Henry was favored by his mother, Matilda, to succeed his father, Henry I, to the throne, but Henry I was successful in having Otto I as his successor. Only after the death of Otto was Henry allowed to become the ruler. In fact, he led an insurrection against Otto I, joined by Giselbert, Duke of Lorraine, and the Duke of Franconia. Henry was defeated and fled to the court of King Louis IV. of France. Later he was forgiven by his brother, Otto I, and was appointed Duke of Bavaria and became a loyal follower of his king and brother. He married Judith, daughter of Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, and granddaughter of Liutpold, Duke of Bavaria, who died in 907. They were the parents of Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, the Quarrelsome (the Wrangler), who died in 995, and Hedwig, who married Burkhard, Duke of Swabia. Henry II, the Quarrelsome (the Wrangler), was father of Henry II, the Saint, King of Germany (1002-1024), the last of the Saxon line, who married Cunigunde.
