Edit Profile
Education
Henry was educated for several years at the court of his maternal grandfather, Count Eberhard of Eppstein.
Career
One of his teachers was the famous humanist doctor Johann Caesarius from Cologne. From November 1525, Henry studied at the University of Leipzig, where his advisor was Tilemann Plathner.
His father managed to reserve posts as Dean for him in Cologne and Mainz.
In 1538, a post as Dean in Halberstadt fell vacant. Henry moved to Halberstadt and began to furnish a manor in Dardesheim for himself.
In 1542, he was appointed Cathedral Dean in Cologne, after the death of his predecessor, Frederick of Beichlingen. The Pope then removed them both from office.
