13th-century Bavarian nobleman
Henry XIV, Duke of Bavaria (29 September 1305 – 1 September 1339), was Duke of
Lower Bavaria (also called Henry II ).

Landshut , a son of
Stephen I, Duke of Bavaria , and Jutta of
Schweidnitz .
His maternal grandparents were

Beatrice of Brandenburg .
Bolko was a son of
Bolesław II the Bald and his first wife Hedwig of
Anhalt . Beatrix was a daughter of
Otto V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel and Jutta of Hennenberg.
Biography
After the death of his father he became duke of Lower Bavaria together with his brother
Otto IV under the tutelage of
Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor . Henry supported Louis against
Frederick I and became a candidate for the German crown when Louis considered temporarily his resignation in 1333.
Conflicts with his brother Otto IV (d. 1334) and his cousin
Henry XV, Duke of Bavaria on the partition of their lands worsened the relationship between the emperor and Henry XIV, who allied with his father-in-law
John I of Bohemia . Notwithstanding this, Henry joined John, with large retinues, to crusade with the
Teutonic Order in Prussia in the winter of 1337.
[1] Some months after the reconciliation with Louis IV in February 1339 Henry died from
leprosy and was succeeded by his son
John I, Duke of Bavaria .
Marriage
On 12 August 1328, Henry married
Margaret of Bohemia . She was a daughter of
John I of Bohemia and
Elisabeth of Bohemia (1292–1330) . They had two children:
John I, Duke of Bavaria (29 November 1329 – 20 December 1340)
Henry of Wittelsbach (1330). Died within the year of his birth.
An illegitimate son named Eberhard is also mentioned in genealogies.[
