  === Life Sketch ===
  ab 1169 römisch-deutscher König und ab 1191 Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches. Von 1194 bis zu seinem Tod war er de iure uxoris zugleich König von Sizilien.
  
  Henry VI (Heinrich VI) (November 1165 – 28 September 1197), a member of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, was King of Germany (King of the Romans) from 1169 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1191 until his death. From 1194 he was also King of Sicily.
  
  He was the second son of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and his consort Beatrix of Burgundy. Well-educated in the Latin language, as well as Roman and canon law, Henry was also a patron of poets and a skilled poet himself. In 1186 he was married to Constance of Sicily, the posthumous daughter of the Norman king Roger II of Sicily. Henry, stuck in the Hohenstaufen conflict with the House of Welf until 1194, had to enforce the inheritance claims by his wife against her nephew Count Tancred of Lecce. Henry's attempt to conquer the Kingdom of Sicily failed at the siege of Naples in 1191 due to an epidemic, with Empress Constance captured. Based on an enormous ransom for the release and submission of King Richard I of England, he conquered Sicily in 1194; however, the intended unification with the Holy Roman Empire ultimately failed due to the opposition of the Papacy.

  === biography ===
  Henry VI of Germany or Henry VI of Hohenstaufen (Nijmegen, November 1165 - Messina, 28 September 1197), emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, married Constance of Altavila, Princess of Sicily. He was king of Germany between 1190 and 1197 and emperor of the Holy Roman-German Empire between 1191 and 1197.
  He was crowned King of the Romans at Bamberg in June 1169 and as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1193 by the hand of Pope Celestine III in the city of Rome along with his wife.
  
  In the year 1190 and also in 1193 he tried to impose himself on the German nobles who offered him resistance and were led by Henry the King of Bavaria also called by Henry the Lion (Ravensburg, 1129 - Brunswick, 1195) and who had the help of the papacy and of the King of England, in the person of Richard the Lionheart, nevertheless having no great success because in spite of the victory achieved did not obtain its main objective that was to become in hereditary the throne of Germany that was always a source of problems of the German nobility with the Papacy and England.
  
  In 1194, after his attempts were defeated received the throne of Sicily in 1191 practically by the force of the arms and after to have claimed it due to the inheritance by right of his wife.
  
  In 1197, the tyrannical power of the foreign king in Italy gave rise to revolts, especially in southern Sicily, which the German soldiers cruelly repressed. In the same year, Henry prepared the Crusade, but on September 28 he died in the Italian city of Messina, due to malaria [1], although the hypothesis of poisoning was also raised.
  
  His son Frederick II would inherit both the kingdom of Sicily and the imperial crown.
  
  He was the son of Emperor Frederick I of Germany (Waiblingen or Ravensburg, 1122 - Cilicia, 1190) and Beatriz I of Burgundy (1145 - 15 November 1184)), Countess of Burgundy. He married 27 of January of 1186 with Constance of Sicily, (2 of November of 1154 - 27 of November of 1198), of whom it had:

  Elizabeth of England, (1214 - 1 December 1241) Princess of England;
  Bianca Lancia (1200 or 1210-1244).
  
  === Translated from Lifesketch on home page ===
  Henrik VI, the son of Frederik 1. Barbarossa, became king of Germany from 1190 and German-Roman Emperor from 1191 and King of Sicily from 1194, married to Constance in 1186, which was heir to Sicily. From 1189, Henrik had to fight against both Sicilian believers and German princes, who became pacified with marriage alliances. The capture of the English king Richard Løvehjerte, who was on his way home from the crusade, led England to pay a big ransom and Richard had to acknowledge Henrik as the lord. It was Leopold of Austria who attacked Richard and then handed him to Henrik VI. He was the father of Emperor Frederik

  -p10,11; Henry crowned King of Sicily at Palermo on Christmas Day 1194; Constance was not present at his coronation, she was detained at the little town of Jesi in Apulia awaiting the birth of a child; The harshness of Henry's government soon made him hated, even more in Sicily than on the Italian mainland. He was a cold, brilliant man, whose ambition to establish his autocratic authority over the whole of Germany and Italy from the North Sea to the African straits and to turn it into the hereditary possession of his house, was very nearly successful. In 1197, when Henry revisited the Kingdom, there was a plot to murder him; and it seems that both Constance and the Pope were privy to it. Henry was warned in time and reacted with greater severity than before. There was a general sigh of relief when he died a few months later from a sudden attack of dysentery, at Messina on 28 Sep 1197;

  === Holy Roman emperor (1191/97) and German ===
  Holy Roman emperor (1191/97) and German king (1190/97), son and successor of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I (Frederick Barbarossa). He was crowned German king at Aachen in 1169 and king of Italy at Milan in 1186 after his marriage to Constance, heiress presumptive to the throne of Sicily. Henry remained in Italy as his father's representative, ravaging central Italy and forcing it to submit to imperial domination. He became regent at his father's departure (1189) for the Third Crusade and succeeded Frederick, who died in 1190. In 1191, Henry entered Italy on an expedition to secure Constance's Sicilian inheritance from Tancred of Lecce, who had illegally assumed the crown. Stopping at Rome he was crowned Holy Roman emperor by Pope Celestine III. He continued southward, but failed in the initial attempt to take Sicily. He returned to Germany, where he faced a rebellion fomented by the Guelphs and the nobles of the Lower Rhine, who opposed his attempt to absorb Thuringia into the royal demesne. Henry secured a powerful bargaining weapon when he obtained custody (1193) of King Richard I of England, brother-in-law and ally of the Guelph leader, Henry the Lion. Soon after Richard had paid a ransom, sworn fealty to Henry, and been released (Feb., 1194), peace was made. In Sicily, the death of Tancred favored the success of Henry's second expedition (May, 1194). Palermo fell in November, and on Christmas Day Henry was crowned king of Sicily. Insatiable, Henry dreamed of further expansion in the Mediterranean. He began to promote (1195) a new crusade and intimidated the Byzantine emperor, Alexius III, into paying him tribute. At the Diet of Würzburg (1196) Henry proposed that the empire be made hereditary in his family, the Hohenstaufen, and in return offered unrestricted rights of inheritance to those who held fiefs from him. The proposal was defeated, though it found many supporters, and Henry contented himself with securing the election of his infant son (later Emperor Frederick II) as king. Henry died of a fever at Messina just as he was preparing to invade the Holy Land. He was succeeded in Sicily by Frederick II and in the rest of the empire by Philip of Swabia.
