Henry of Speyer

Henry of Speyer or Heinrich von Speyer, also called "Graf im Wormsgau" (965/970 – 989/1000) was the father of the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II.

He was the oldest son of Count Otto von Worms and married Adelaide of Alsace, the sister of the counts of Alsace. She outlived him by many years and died in 1046. Little is known of his life, since he died at around 20.

He was buried in the Worms Cathedral along with his daughter Judith.
