Henry received rapid preferment in the Church, as Canon of Cologne, Provost of Aachen, Provost of Strasburg 152043, coadjutor Bp. of Worms 1523. He was a devoted adherent of Charles v, and on the death of Philip of Burgundy (p. 14) was rewarded with the see of Utrecht; but being unable to hold that turbulent diocese, he resigned in 1528, and retired to his see of Worms, where he died. From 1541-2 until his death he also held the see of Freising. See GC. v, Gams, and ADB. xi. 625, 6.
