Summary[edit]

Description
English: Henry (V) the Elder of Brunswick, Count Palatine of the Rhine (1173-1227). A member of the House of Welf (capital: Brunswick). The anachronistic arms of Wittelsbach (on terrace in base) presumably are intended to signify "Duchy of Bavaria", which was held by his father. It was his daughter and heiress Agnes of the Palatinate who married into the Wittelsbach family, in 1222, bringing them the County Palatine of the Rhine. On that inheritance the Wittelsbach family adopted the "Lion of Palatinate" (Sable, a lion rampant or crowned armed and langued gules) as a permanent quartering in their coat of arms. The origin of this charge is unclear. It would be expected to have been the arms of Henry V, Count Palatine of the Rhine, who lived during the start of the age of heraldry (circa 1200-1215). Did he adopt the "Lion of Palatinate" as his own arms? Surviving anachronistic and imaginary images show him with the attributed arms of Welf Or, a lion rampant gules, or as here with Brunswick-Lüneburg. Oil painting by Johann Christian Ludwig Tunica (1836), formerly hung in Marienburg Castle and in the Leine Castle in Hanover, since 2005 VGH-Foundation Hanover.
