Henry III the Younger 983-985<br />

The death <strong>of</strong> Otto saw a shuffling <strong>of</strong> crowns. First <strong>Bavaria</strong> was given to Berthold's son Henry (III), briefly restoring<br />

the Luitpolding dynasty.<br />

Henry III (940–5 October 989), called the Younger, <strong>of</strong> the Luitpolding dynasty, son <strong>of</strong> Berthold, Duke <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bavaria</strong>, was the duke <strong>of</strong><br />

Carinthia (976–978, 985–989) and <strong>Bavaria</strong> (983–985).<br />

On the death <strong>of</strong> Berthold in 947, <strong>Bavaria</strong> was given to the brother <strong>of</strong> King Otto I, Henry, who had married Judith, daughter <strong>of</strong> the<br />

old duke Arnulf the Bad.<br />

In 976, Henry received some <strong>com</strong>pensation by receiving the ancient duchy <strong>of</strong> Carinthia, severed as it was from <strong>Bavaria</strong>. In 978,<br />

he was one <strong>of</strong> the Henries in rebellion against Otto II in the War <strong>of</strong> the Three Henries. The others were the son <strong>of</strong> Henry <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Bavaria</strong>, the deposed Henry the Wrangler, and Henry I, Bishop <strong>of</strong> Augsburg. He was deposed and both he and the Wrangler<br />

were banished. In 983, he was recalled from banishment to be instated in <strong>Bavaria</strong>, but upon Otto III's reconciliation with the<br />

Wrangler, Henry was given Carinthia again and deprived <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bavaria</strong>. When he died in 989, he was the last male Luitpoldinger.<br />
