Henry the Lion
German prince Henry the Lion became duke of Saxony and Bavaria in the middle of the 12th century. Holding territory in both Germany and Italy, Henry was a powerful figure. His power, however, brought him into conflict with German king Frederick I, who deprived Henry of his lands in 1180.
