He grew up in England and became count palatine of the Rhine through his 1193 marriage to Agnes, heir to the Count of Staufen. When his younger brother Otto became one of two rival kings of the Holy Roman Empire in 1198, Henry at first supported him, but switched sides to Philip of Staufen in 1203.
