-'''Heinrich Raspe''' ([[1204]] - [[February 16]], [[1247]]) became [[Landgraf]], or count, of [[Thuringia]] (now part of modern-day [[Germany]]) in [[1227]]; he later became king in [[1246]]-[[1247]] in opposition to [[Conrad IV of Germany|Conrad IV]].
-First in Thuringia, Heinrich ruled for his under-age nephew Hermann II, whom he had expelled from the government as he had also his nephew's mother. Around [[1231]] Heinrich succeeded his brother [[Ludwig IV]] who had died on a [[crusade]]. As a reward he received the county of Thuringia.
-In [[1242]] Heinrich, together with [[Wenzel I]], was elected by [[Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor|Friedrich II]] to be the trustee of the empire for his under-age son Conrad IV. After the deposition of Friedrich through [[Pope Innocent IV]] in [[1245]], he changed his mind and on the [[May 22|22nd of May]] [[1246]] he was elected to be the king in opposition, ''Pfaffenkönig''. In the [[battle of Nidda]] in August [[1246]], Heinrich won over Konrad and died several months after on the [[Wartburg]].
