Heinrich I (der Kahle) Graf von Stade, Graf im Heiangau ¹⁷⁹

  Notater:

Henry I the Bald (died 11 May 976), Count of Stade, son of Lothar II, Count of Stade, and Swanhild of Saxony. Henry is recorded as a cousin of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, but their exact relationship remains a mystery. Henry was also appointed Count of Heilangau, the ancient capital of Stade, in 959.

Apparently, when Henry's father died at the Battle of Lenzen, the county of Stade was taken by Wichmann the Elder and his two sons, not to return to the family of Lothar until 967. Henry's grandson Thietmar of Merseburg recounts that Henry tried to capture Margrave Hermann Billung because of "arrogance" in ceremonial matters, but failed.

Henry married first Judith von der Wetterau (925-973), sister of Conrad I, Duke of Swabia. Their father was either Conrad or Udo, son of Gebbard, Duke of Lorraine. Henry married second Hildegard von Reinhausen, daughter of Elli I, Count of Reinhausen.

Heinrich blev gift med Judith, datter af Konrad Vogt von Schwarzach, Graf in der Ortenau og Judith von Thüringen, omkring 946. (Judith døde omkring 16 Okt. 973.)

Heinrich blev derefter gift med Hildegard (von Reinhausen), datter af Elli I og N. N.
