- Henry I, Margrave of Austria
Henry I of Austria (died June 23, 1018), also known as "Henry the Strong" (Ger. "Heinrich der Starke"), was margrave of Austria from 994 until his death.
He is the son of Margrave Leopold I from the Babenberg family. Under his rule, the name "Ostarrîchi" (996), from which the modern German name of Austria ("Österreich") developed, was first mentioned in a preserved document.
Henry took his residence in Melk, where Saint Koloman was buried. His territory was extended by Emperor Henry II, who gave him some land between the Kamp and Morava rivers and in the Wienerwald.
