"Henry is buried in the Cathedral of Bamberg, which also has the tomb of Pope Clement II making the only place both a Pope and I am Called Henri Jassmin Holy Roman Emperor are buried."

Err... Otto II is burried in St Peter, or so it seems ...

I added the title "Saint" behind his name, since he was canonized by the Catholic Church. -Alex 12.220.157.93 07:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Headings

The heading titles (emperor, politics, and death) need to be changed. Srnec 19:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Now it needs sources. Srnec 21:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feast

I found a biography in Spanish that can perhaps be used as reference fo this article; look at it here.

There you can also see that Saint Henry's feast is on July 13th, a fact that should be added to the article. 189.136.145.147 01:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article not about Henry...

This is about King Heinrich. Why does it call him "Henry"?Presidentbalut (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME clearly states that articles should be named based on how the subject is generally referred to in reliable English-language sources. That would be Henry in this case. Oh, and I hope you have not spammed this question on too many talk pages. You would have gotten the same answer if you had just posted this on a single German Henry's talkpage.

Rex Romanorum?

The source provided for Henry II being the first King to adopt the style Rex Romanorum does not support the assertion being made in the article. Chapter III (pp 10-12), which deals with the title "King of the Romans," begins by discussing how, under Charlemagne, the title of Emperor passed automatically to the heir, and that the need to be elected King before being crowned Emperor began under Otto I, before moving on to attribute to Charles V the practice of crowning the heir King during the Emperor's lifetime. It nowhere even makes mention of Henry II.--13:57, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Masque (talk)

Saint Henry "the Exuberant"

There was a tweet I saw that noted how an anonymous editor added, without citation, the claim that Henry II was called "Saint Henry the Exuberant" back in 2018. No pre-2018 source in e.g. Google Books calls him that. Several post-2018 sources appear to have copied Wikipedia. Looks like there another IP editor was just edit warring over the removal and is presently blocked. I hope there's no further tomfoolery. RexSueciae (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canonization and veneration

Under "canonization and veneration" there is the following claim:

"Two online sources suggest that Henry is venerated as a Confessor in the Eastern Orthodox Church (either on 13 July[41] or 15 July).[42] However, Henry II does not appear in any Orthodox synaxaria, and was only canonised in the West almost a century after the East–West Schism; indeed, he is perhaps best known in most Orthodox circles for his introduction of the filioque to Rome."

I am not sure who made this edit, but I am writing here to let the editors know that Henry II is part of an official martyrology/synaxaria used by the Antiochian Orthodox Church. If you want a physical book source, he's listed as a saint in "A Western Rite Orthodox Martyrology," p. 126. This is published by St. Gregory Orthodox Church: https://www.stgregoryoc.org/publications/. If you want an internet source, he's listed as a saint on the website of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. His feast day is July 15. You can look him up on the calendar: https://www.orthodoxwest.com/kalendar.

I am suggesting that the current paragraph be edited to simply say that Henry II is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and that his feast day is celebrated on 15 July in the Antiochian Orthodox Church. And you can used the two references I gave, because those are official calendars used in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. To say that he "does not appear in any Orthodox synaxaria" is false.
