Henry V of Iron

Henry V (III) (Polish: Henryk V; c. 1319 – after 8 April 1369), was a Duke of Żagań since 1342, from 1349 Duke of half-Głogów, and from 1363 Duke of half-Ścinawa. He was the only son of Henry IV (II) the Faithful, Duke of Żagań, by his wife Matilda, daughter of Herman, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel. Henry was nicknamed Henry the Iron (Żelazny) for the consistency and ruthlessness of his acts. Immediately after he took control over the government, he oriented his politics towards recovery lands that were lost during his late father's rule.
