Henry VII (b. c1269/74, Valenciennes, Hainaut--d. 24 Aug 1313, Buonconvento, near Siena, Italy), count of Luxembourg (as Henry IV), German King (from 1308), and Holy Roman Emperor (from 1312) who strengthened the position of his family by obtaining the throne of Bohemia for his son. He failed, however, in his attempt to bind Italy firmly to the empire.
Henry succeeded his father, Henry III, as Count of Luxembourg in 1288. He was chosen German King in November 1308 at Frankfurt and was crowned at Aachen the following January, becoming the first German King of the House of Luxembourg.
Bohemia was acquired through the Bohemian princess Elizabeth, who, in exchange for imperial assistance in her attempt to seize the throne of Bohemia from her brother-in-law Henry of Carinthia, offered her hand in marriage to Henry's son John of Luxembourg. Following their marriage on 30 Aug 1310, the couple set out for Bohemia, accompanied by a German-Bohemian army, which captured Prague on 19 Dec 1310, and installed John as King of Bohemia.
