Henry VII Rumpold

Henry VII (V) Rumpold also known as the Middle or the Greater (; b. ca. 1350 – d. 24 December 1395), was a Duke of Żagań-Głogów during 1368–1378 (as a co-ruler with his brothers) and since 1378 ruler over half of Głogów, Ścinawa and Bytom Odrzański. He was the second son of Henry V of Iron, Duke of Żagań-Głogów, by his wife Anna, daughter of Duke Wenceslaus of Płock. The contemporary sources are often called him "Rumpold", and also Middle to distinguish him from his older and younger brothers, who bore the same name, and Greater due to his height and weight. Life After his father's death in 1369, Henry VII ruled the Duchy of Żagań-Głogów jointly with his older brother Henry VI and his younger brother Henry VIII the Sparrow. In 1378 the Duchy was divided into three parts: Henry VII obtain the eastern part, who included Głogów, Góra, Ścinawa and Bytom Odrzański (actually only a half of this lands; the other half belonged to the Bohemian crown since 1360). After the division, Henry VII used the title of Lord of Głogów and Ścinawa. In 1381 Henry VII demanded his younger brother Henry VIII the Sparrow pay tribute to the Duchy of Głogów.
